The BSD license might not be a Good Thing for every project, but it certainly is for FreeBSD. Mac or Windows using FreeBSD code can in no way harm the FreeBSD project, but it will benefit Mac and Windows. It's a net gain. And as a bonus, commercial entities that use FreeBSD software very often contribute back.
