Does the Apple license allow the FreeBSD Project to use what's contributed by third parties? As I read it, only the authors and Apple can use the changes, and Apple can't contribute other people's changes to the BSDs -- only its own. In short, the contributors to Apple's code have to be asked if they will ALSO contribute to the BSDs. (I don't see why they wouldn't, though.) --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
