Um... Ok.  I didn't make a value judgement but was interested in
hearing them from others.  I guess it worked  :-)

Still, I'm happy to see the availability of code from major vendors,
no matter how half-hearted the attempt.  It's got more people thinking
about the source code and I believe that this is good for our profession.

What I found sort of interesting about the website was Eric Raymond's
presence proclaiming Apple's "innovativeness".   I wish they had aligned
themselves better with the BSD community.  Perhaps this can still happen?

Cheers,
