The philosophy differences are exactly why we need FreeBSD (e.g., it can support things like ZFS without getting into licensing issues).

Well the ZFS is a particular case as it was deliberately licenced to be incompatible with Linux licencing as Solaris was suffering from competetion with Linux and Sun obviously didn't want to give away a competitive advantage to it's main competitor.
