I think you've mis-parsed the issue, which is that some corporations seek to exclude use by their clients of products of other than those who fit their BigCorp image.

At least they're not excluding Firefox, unlike some, but FreeBSD.  Who knows why, maybe it's the "Free", maybe some big shareholder finds Beastie scary; who cares?

No, please don't alert them - or others of their ilk - how easily we can work around their stupidity and/or cupidity.  They may make it worse.

Bob is right, and details how to fix it.
