Hear! Hear!  Glad someone pointed this out.

The CD subscriptions are very reasonable for a
company, and without the per machine requirements of
other OS types.  $40-100 per quarter is nothing.  Most
companies don't blink at a bar tab that large for a
salesperson.  CD subscription should be required on a
moral basis if for no other reason for a company. 
Indeed a company that uses *BSD should subscribe to
all *BSD versions to keep updated, abreast of devel,
and current.

Now that VMware is free I don't know why an IT dept
wouldn't be constantly evaluating *BSD subscriptions.
