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!=20

Thomas
