    It's still there, it was just renamed when a corporation was allowed to steal your userland and close it up because of your license. The BSD section is now called Apple. Remind me why I would want to release code under the BSD license anyway? Good code in use, etc... Yeah, I have heard them all before. But there is a sig on /. somewhere, "A republic is two hungry wolves and sheep. Freedom is a well armed sheep." The GPL gives us the armament we need to stop predators who would co-opt what was developed by us and use it as a marketing ploy against us. So, which OS is more popular, *BSD or OSX? They just beat you at your own game. They took what you had, and gave you no credit or compensation (not monetary, code wise, share and share alike stuff). Remember, we only see far because we stand on the backs of giants, because they didn't pantent the piggy back ride.
