This is a very interesting story.. but hasnt that happened before ? Like OSX is based upon BSD right ? and OSX is proprietary right ? how'd they do that ? Who'd they pay off ? or is it just a matter of no one has backing to go after them ?


BSD's license is explicitly designed to allow proprietarization, provided that acknowledgment is made that code originally came from BSD. This is one of the BSD Zealot Talking Points.
