Is it in the term the BSD licenses = legal to use=20 those featues in a system, that isn`t Open Source or is distributed = (like OS X)=20 without Source! OK, there are all those Copyright Notices about FreeBSD = in OS X,=20 but does that meet it! I mean, can any development company come and say = "Well,=20 I`d like to use the Ports System in my Closed Source System" or is that=20 restricted?
 
I think, it`s OK, that the Ports have = been ported=20 to Darwin, cause it`s Open Source, but would it be OK, if it would be = ported to=20 OS X?
 
I hope you could help me! And, guys, = fine work=20 you`re doing!
