>BSD was used by apple to build a massive fortune but without paying significantly back to the BSD community. Welcome to free software. :) If you had to "pay back significantly" to use it, it would not be "free software". It's regrettable, but it's the price of freedom. Whether that's worth it is subjective. Stallman's answer to this was the GPL. (I bet Apple wouldn't've touched BSD if it was GPL'd.) Newer, hybrid license have also emerged (like the MPL) that attempt to strike a better balance between freedom and back-contributions. |
