Stealing momentum and userbase are not theft, but rather meant to convey a loss for the open source project despite being the ones who got the ball rolling. It was expressly permitted by the BSD license, so I'm not saying the Apple did anything wrong, but rather pointing out a opinion about a strategic misstep by the BSD license.

- magic_quotes 9y agoPlease, Linux is the direct competitor of FreeBSD, not anything Apple-related. This is obvious GPL-vs-BSD trolling attempt and you know that.
- vorotato 9y agoIt's not about the users it's about the developers, and no I'm not trying to troll. I'm sorry that what I said upsets you, but I don't think I was saying anything offensive. I admit "Stealing" is a loaded word and I was using it loosely, I didn't think it would upset people because I wasn't meaning it literally.
