Didn't Nominum write BIND9,

Yes, up to 9.2.0, under contract to ISC.


and doesn't / didn't it provide commercial
support for it?

Yep.  A commercial necessity if your market is ISPs/telcos.

I have my preferences, however I'm not religious about it. DJBDNS is better than BIND in some scenarios, BIND is better in others. Neither is perfect and since our customers use both, I'm interested in objective measures as opposed to subjective, emotion laden value judgments.
