Hi Matt, I'm wondering how many people are behind the Mall, what the order statistics are, and how much the income is. If the Mall is just a secondary job, and you donate a considerable excess amount, then I have to respect, but also criticize that. The good thing is about *you* supporting the Project, is that *you* can chose what parts of development to encourage. If you donate raw cash, they will spend it on ice cream ;), if you donate a piece of hardware, they will utilize that thing for testing, which is good if your company relies heavily on FreeBSD driver efficiency and stability for that type of piece. However, if you really encourage advertising FreeBSD, you should make promo stuff as cheap as possible.
All the while you can still download the releases for free so what are you complaining about anyway? At first I thought you were just asking a question and trying to gain insight but now I see you're just trolling. I don't really understand what you are trying to gain through this ranting. If you want to use FreeBSD, you can, and for free. Same for NetBSD, OpenBSD, various distributions of Linux...... what's the problem? You can't realistically expect to get everything for no cost. Or maybe you need clarification between the terms - Free does not necessarily mean "at no cost to you" (although as you know you can still download and use FreeBSD at virtually no cost to you....)
