The problem is, anyone can sign a petition, even those that don't, nor 
will ever, use the software, which is what makes them meaningless :(

You really need to get someone on the inside that is using FreeBSD and

then you make the dollars speak for you ...

What about the FreeBSD Foundation ... maybe something that they can 
organize?
