Fred, can you tell us how many external contributions you are getting to Darwin? There is a quid-pro-quo in which we all exchange "developer attention", some of us writing system code or libraries, others applications, etc. I'd be much less willing to release free code if it were likely to be integrated into someone's private project without an equal return of code to the public. I surmise that the proportionally lower interest in BSD, Mozilla, and other non-GPL projects might be due in part to this sentiment. Thanks Bruce
