Supply-chain folk? Is that a euphemism for "suits?"
My employer is audited by clients on a regular basis. If you have your
internal documentation and processes together, it doesn't seem to bother
any of the corporate-types we run up against in the health-care industry
that we are running a freely-available, open-source OS.
If you require "commercial support" I'd like to think there is a
commercial entity that can lease such an option to you. The FreeBSD
foundation hasn't gone down that road yet, unlike some other projects.
Maybe someday, but if you need a commercial support option that is
co-branded with your Operating System, you could do worse than Solaris,
or Red Hat Enterprise.
