Uh, yes? Half of the initial mac os x kernel was ripped off freebsd, giving pretty much nothing back. Afaik netapp is also basing their system on bsd. Sony uses freebsd as the OS for their playstation. And many more, giving essentially nothing back. | ||||||||||||||

You'll notice the FreeBSD folks don't seem to be particularly bothered by this. FreeBSD loses nothing to Apple or NetAPP. This attitude of "OMG you're being ripped off" any time a company incorporates code from a BSD/MIT/whatever licensed project baffles me. | ||||||||||||||

Regarding apple: They support cups and clang, and stuff like swift and webkit. Also, the darwin kernel is open source. I’d be shocked if netapp hard forked bsd and doesn’t upstream fixes. | ||||||||||||||
