That doesn't address what I read in hsu's statement above.  Making
money from FreeBSD is not sinful.  But if it's the *only* ("just" in
the message above) reason, it doesn't indicate any particular reason
to stay with the project.

Why are you people all picking on hsu?  Nobody's doubting that the
commit was sensible.  Plenty of people, especially those with wives,
children and other sources of income, don't have lots of time to spend
on FreeBSD.  That doesn't mean that people should pick on them when
they do an occasional commit.  It's easy to doubt the motives of such
criticism.
