I spoke to a support rep about it before I bought it for our use on a 
FreeBSD machine.  Wanted to get it running on OpenBSD, but they don't 
have anyone (as of several months ago) running it on OpenBSD that they 
could find in their knowledge base.  They use a particular module that 
they don't release the source for (fogbugz.so, if I remember right), so 
it only works on particular platforms.

I spent a few minutes the other day messing around with it to see what 
would happen if I did FreeBSD binary emulation, but I didn't have time 
to correct all the installation parameters to locate the various files 
in the right places.  I had selected FreeBSD as the install OS, and it 
kept expecting things to be in different places.  But it might work, and 
you can get a 30 day trial period when you can get a refund for any 
reason.  We just run a single copy, and I think it's only about $130 
total for one copy.

If there is anyone else that's wanting to do this, I'll add our name to 
any push to have them make an OpenBSD release.
