Once again, not meaning to get into a GPL-vs-BSD war here, but...

If I take the whole IP stack from BSD and copy it as is into a desktop 
OS (for the sake of argument, say Winduhs), would you call that a 
significant change?  All the algorithms, all the flows, all the bugs...  
Sorry, your argument doesn't hold: it's possible to take major chunks 
of code and incorporate them into your application with minor or no 
changes.
