	Statements like this are no way to advocate FreeBSD. Calling
potential users brainwashed does not gain FreeBSD any friends. Why are
some people so arrogant to presume they know what is best for everyone?

	The only way to make FreeBSD more popular is to prove it provides 
the best solution for a particular task. The average user, this includes 
business users, do not care if the software is licensed under GPL or BSD 
as long as it works.
