So, I guess the developers must be happy at it being widely used in the form of iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches, even if BSD doesn't see a dime of the $100B+ in cash and billions more every quarter that Apple made leveraging it. I would be sad, since even 0.01% of that is $10M, which would amount to 20 such FreeBSD fundraisers. Of course, the BSD license allows you to take code an run with it, but it would still be very nice if Apple donated at least some amount that is absolutely insignificant to them. Judging from [1], they don't even donate a penny. Of course, in the past they used to donate code.
