FreeBSD's Security officer Colin Percival seeks sponsorship. This has happened before with other FreeBSD contributors. "I'm hoping to raise $15000 Canadian (about US$13000) to pay me to work full-time on FreeBSD for 16 weeks over the summer. This will allow me to devote more time to my role as FreeBSD Security Officer, perform a complete overhaul of FreeBSD Update, and make some significant improvements to Portsnap."

What is a poison is that companies take BSD-licensed free software, lock it in and then don't give anything back both to users and developers. Look at what Apple did with Darwin/OS X and KHTML(*), or what did Sun with SunSSH.
That's why GPL exists. It is just a device to make everyone play fair.
(*)That's GPL software, but the KDE developers had to cry far loud to have usable Safari patches back from Apple.
