Why would anyone buy FreeBSD at big iron prices??
Depending on your definition of rebranding, one could argue that people buy rebranded FreeBSD when they, e.g., purchase a Sony Playstation, or to stretch further, when they purchase a Mac system.
Sure, but looking at Open Server 10, most of the advertised features are 1:1 FreeBSD feature.
It looks like the main purpose is to Virtualize old SCO systems, support for that use case, and technical support during the migration.
