thus, it is not 'Free', this managed by 'consumers like Isilon, NetApp,

It might be helpful to think of them as 'customers' who are using our 'product'
and paying for it by feeding back patches and employing FreeBSD developers.
Normal business practice doesn't include intentionally making your customers'
lives difficult - if you make a habit of it they tend to go elsewhere.
It seems to me, business and freedom - are mutually exclusive things.
or you can choose the path of development, or who pays - giver commands to
community.
no freedom there.
Someone always pays. If this project didn't have sponsors like Isilon, NetApp,
Juniper, Yahoo, and many others it simply would not exist.
then can a more correct name of the project or ClosedBSD or ManagedBSD? =)
or something abstract?

I love FreeBSD, but then having to follow the guidance of someone even
though everyone understands what you can do better - depressing.
