Re: @ gerryg - The fork model...
"Apple on the other hand, did not want to bother with GPL, instead they went and pilfered BSD code. Again unlike Google, Apple now prefers to pay the developers for their ideas instead of introducing students to open source software in order to steal their ideas."
Given how many kernel (and other) developers Google pays and how much code they shove upstream, I would have to call this statement out as blatantly false.
