 site.  Is the entry on this page referring to their free time-limited trial=

 formation on where to get the free FreeBSD version would be appreciated.

 hines across the continental United States, but if there really is a free l=
 icense of the ODBC-ODBC Bridge for FreeBSD then I will gladly migrate our e=

 the other benefits and features that FreeBSD brings to the table would be i=

 Well, all the commercial entries were submitted to us in the past, some
 have been there a long time.  Of course some companies have changed their
 offerings during time, and there is not good way for us to find out.
 
 If you really want to make sure they're still offering this FreeBSD
 version, send them an email.  If you do, please let us know the results.
