Which is why it wouldn't be FreeBSD. FreeBSD is free and that
includes sysinstall and the pkg_install tools, a situation that
parallels this one since Walnut Creek CDROM essentially paid me to
write them. If WC had turned pointy-haired about this and decided not
to allow me to release them, however, we'd still be using shell script
installers (or an installer from somebody with less pointy-haired
bosses) since that would have been completely unacceptable.

have your cake and eat it too.
I know you said FWIW, but I just wanted to point out that it was
actually worth very little. :-)
