Could they ever do what Sun appears to be doing? Could they (one day, in a
galaxy far, far way) consider GPLv3? Some of them are betrayed by some large
companies that take but never give back. Speaking of which, Apple will have
ZFS in its O/S... that's Sun, so a transitive inference here closes a
circle.
The GPL is a very scientific approach that encourages two-way collaboration
and attribution. There is a reason why science that's BSD-like or
proprietary-like does not get far.
