The license under which Apple releases its open source doesn't change Mac OS X's BSD heritage, and it doesn't invalidate Mac OS X's UNIX certification.
However, the license under which Apple releases its OS components does affect how those components may be used by others. BSD-licensed code does not require publication of changes, for example, while the Apple license does. Since much of the discussion in this newsgroup focuses on license features and requirements, saying that Mac OS X "is" BSD needlessly confuses that issue. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
