Kevin - if Damian's first or primary language is not English, I think
the confusion is with the word "run".

If I say I run FreeBSD, I could mean "I have computers that run the FreeBSD OS."

I could also mean "I run the FreeBSD Project."

The word "run" is ambiguous for a non-native speaker in the context,
"We run FreeBSD"
