Sorry, but this does not make sense.

FreeBSD is driven by commercial matters.  Many of the people that work 
on it are paid to work on it by their employers, who are using it 
commercially.   FreeBSD will wither away if it does not continue to 
receive extensive commercial support like Linux gets.

When is a logo "technology"?  No one is talking about a logo steering 
technology or technology steering a logo.  The sentence "FreeBSD 
starting to have marketing dictate technology instead of technology 
dictate marketing?" is irrelevant to this discussion.

You can have the best technology in the world, but if no one uses it, 
who cares?
