Huh? A contented, lazy penguin that probably would take a while to stand up is more dangerous than a trim, atheltic daemon wielding a sharp pitchfork? I don't think so.;-)
Have you ever posted code to freebsd-hackers? If it does something useful (i.e. doesn't rename mv to move) then you will get several responses from many people who have the power to say "your code will be in tomorrow's snapshot." Even if you do post something useless you're bound to get a response.:)
I don't think the @vt.edu addresses are lifetime. My older brother's address expired 3-4 years after he graduated. Granted, he wasn't using it, so maybe they let you keep it if you actively use it.
I'm a FreeBSD enthusiast, but I thought that the LinuxWorld article listed in the 'References' section of the article in SunWorld is a good article, esp. in that it says how the FreeBSD core team (and most sane FreeBSD users) view Linux.. as a partner.

Do note that BSD/OS has a StrongARM port (IIRC), which will be merged into FreeBSD, so it's not as far off as you may think.
Errrm, FreeBSD runs on Athlons. What do you think ftp.freesoftware.com (the new ftp.FreeBSD.org machine) is?
