    Like being major OS manufacturer's platform of operations?

    Windows would have never made it off the ground and running if it hadn't been for BSD network stacks and related code. OS X wouldn't be half the operating system if it didn't have its BSD kernel (though they did quite a bit of hacking on it).

    BSDs are still alive because their code is needed to be alive. If you commit to a BSD, it's practically public domain; take it and do as you see fit. In my opinion it's the best kind of open source, but of course I see the need for the GPL as well. It's just too bad they can't work together more closely, and are instead moving apart gradually.
