No, you are correct, GnatBox and GnatBox Lite are both BSD based.  I was
offering a true firewall solution that happens to be free for the "what
can I use as a firewall, I'm running Linux" types.  With Gnatbox, it
really doesn't matter what you're running on your machine, it's small
(runs on a floppy), it's easy enough to set up, runs on really low end
hardware and is a viable choice for people who just want that.

No, I don't work for them, I just use it and am happy with it.
