[-- Attachment #1 --] HI folks, I`ve a question about the integration of some FreeBSD-Features and (or) source code in Mac OS X: Is it in the term the BSD licenses legal to use those featues in a system, that isn`t Open Source or is distributed (like OS X) without Source! OK, there are all those Copyright Notices about FreeBSD in OS X, but does that meet it! I mean, can any development company come and say "Well, I`d like to use the Ports System in my Closed Source System" or is that restricted? I think, it`s OK, that the Ports have been ported to Darwin, cause it`s Open Source, but would it be OK, if it would be ported to OS X? I hope you could help me! And, guys, fine work you`re doing!
