No way. One of FreeBSD's goals is to get rid of everything that's GPL-licensed. bash is not only that, but it's also horrible code.

And it's a user-friendly shell with all the tab completions and history searches, which DOES NOT BELONG IN /bin/sh!

Exactly, which is the reason why BSDs were not affected by shellshock. And moreover, modern tcsh is quite a powerful and full-featured shell, too.

I unfortunately had to switch to Linux a few years ago (after using FreeBSD for almost a decade) and I still miss how consistent and well laid out BSDs seem in comparison.
