To be honest considering that you can't understand the extraordinarily simple BSD license I doubt you'll get anywhere far. Secondly Apple didn't take FreeBSD and rebrand it, OS X is a far more complex beast than that. Their kernel is a Mach based microkernel and the BSD layer is merely one of the thread stacks that plug into it. What are you actually trying to accomplish?

You're asking *us* instead of a lawyer? :) But what did you not understand about the previous answer you just got? Most of FreeBSD is under a BSD license, which means do nearly anything you want with it. Some *parts* of a standard FreeBSD distro are under more restrictive licenses, and you need to either comply with those licenses, or remove those parts from your derivative distribution. Now, if that's opaque to you, hire a lawyer. Now. -- Randal L.
