Or simply incorporate it into your bits?  It wasn't what I'd call a
substantive amount of work on my part.  :)

If the money is flowing from a company to a person or to another
company, and the recipient of the money was found through this
resource, I'd say that's good news for FreeBSD.  :) That said, why not
leave your cell phone on over night?  I think the criteria should be
having a website of some sort, which should keep the support area
clean of people looking for a buck or two who aren't setup for long
term support.  There's no substitute for due-diligence on the part of
a company.

I'll start with committing commercial.sgml for now and will put
together the support section bits here in the next day or so and will
post the patches on www at .  -sc
