@Alan Which is very spineless of them. Big software corp taking advantage of opensource with a rep of giving very little back.
Hey,
What Apple is doing with Mac OS X is completely legal. They're using
code from the *BSD projects (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc), which are
all licensed under the BSD license. The BSD license is not like the
GPL; it allows you to use open-source code commercially without
releasing your modifications to the source code. That's why
corporations like BSD-licensed code and fear the GPL. ;)
