(Linux perspective:) Apple embeds Mac OS X in phone, set-top box

,----[ Quote ]
| ...Unix-based operating systems have not proven as popular or as
| successful as Linux for embedded applications, because BSD's
| licensing places no obligation on users to contribute their
| improvements back to the community. Thus, if Apple plans to
| use Mac OS X in a range of embedded devices, it will have
| to do all of its own development work.
