...though OpenBSD (not FreeBSD) specifically does put a non-free
copyright on its ISOs -- CD sales revenues are a significant funding
source for the project.

3.1.2 - Does OpenBSD provide an ISO image available for download?
You can't. The official OpenBSD CD-ROM layout is copyright Theo de
Raadt, as an incentive for people to buy the CD set. Note that only
the layout is copyrighted, OpenBSD itself is free. Nothing
precludes someone else to just grab OpenBSD and make their own CD.
