Given the number of FreeBSD using companies who are completely banned the
presence of GPLv3 source from their sites, improvements would have to
be extremely compelling and there would have to be a straight forward
way to produce snapshots of the src tree with out any GPLv3 components
as well as a simple way to build said source tree with a non-GPLv3
compiler.
