  Unless I'm misremembering, I'm pretty sure this is the case.  I
remember seeing it in a press release and being really annoyed that they
chose to back the then-PC-centric FreeBSD rather than the much more
platform-agnostic NetBSD.  I'll dig around a bit later on to see if I
can find some references about it.
