You do, of course, realize that FreeBSD is not a Linux maintainer, right? I won't start a flamewar by trying to tell you the technical & ideological differences, so I'll just say this: Net, Open, & Free are from the BSD side of the Unix family tree; Linux, in the early days, was a emulation of the System V side of the tree. So, FreeBSD is not a Linux maintainer.
