Since when did FreeBSD, a project always driven by volunteers and not by commercial matters, suddenly gain a marketing department that is trying to steer FreeBSD into the business sector? Is FreeBSD starting to have marketing dictate technology instead of technology dictate marketing?
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?
