FreeBSD is free and that includes sysinstall and the pkg_install tools, a situation that parallels this one since Walnut Creek CDROM essentially paid me to write them. If WC had turned pointy-haired about this and decided not to allow me to release them, however, we'd still be using shell script installers (or an installer from somebody with less pointy-haired bosses) since that would have been completely unacceptable. > 2) They will want to call their stuff FreeBSD, but that .. and which is why they couldn't call their stuff FreeBSD.
