Big companies like Juniper Networks, Yahoo, Nokia, Cisco etc. are using FreeBSD too, some of them even OpenBSD for special task. So what?
It gonna be off topic a bit but Im wondering why Google uses Linux distro instead of BSD? Surely google techie guys know how good BSD is, so it must be a good reason behind the scene.

My educated guess would be they started with Linux and if they wanna switch to BSD, its time comsuming, costly and huge load of work, or simply BSD is not good for cluster?
