Just tell them they have to put it in the drive and reboot to get the free porn.
It's GPL/commercial licensed; the concern is over the former MYSQL AB.

Agree on your seven points above. Sadly, I've got one that pretty much vetoes all of them and puts me in the Linux camp: the turnaround time for hardware SUCKS. When I last used FreeBSD around 6.1 or 6.2ish, I was having to import out-of-tree drivers for a stock Intel onboard chip (on a two-year old motherboard). The last time I tried to install it on a laptop, it pretty much gave up at the boot screen, and I shudder to think of whether or not it would even get that far on my Qosmio. It's kind of a shame, cause I really miss the system.
