100%. If they used Linux they would actually have to contribute their improvements back. Because Sony went with FreeBSD they get to use all that community code and build their product on top of it. Win win for Sony as a corp. not so great for the rest of us.

Imagine if FreeBSD had all the graphics pipeline improvements that Sony undoubtedly have added in house.
