You might want to check out BSDNow, episode 51 (
http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_08_20-engineering_nginx ).
In that episode, they interviewed Eric Le Blan from Xinuos (the
company that acquired the
assets of SCO Unix).  He expressed interest in his company providing
long term support
for FreeBSD on older branches.  It's not in place now though, but
would be nice to see this
come.
