5. OpenBSD thinks there should be no possibility whatsoever to use Blobs. FreeBSD thinks it's up to the user to decide what's best for him. And maybe that will include competition between Open Source BSD-licensed drivers and Blobs. You can use Nvidia graphics drivers in FreeBSD and you can use xorg. You can use NVE or NFE soon. That's freedom of choice, Free as in FreeBSD (and NetBSD and DragonFly BSD etc.).
When you install FreeBSD you are bound to install Atheros blob (correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I could figure out from freebsd documentation), unless you do a little research and customization before. No warnings pop up to the user, he might even don't know he's running a blob. There's nothing even on the handbook (at least I didn't find it). Where's the freedom?

That was more of a threat than a permission.
