However, the license under which Apple releases its OS components
does affect how those components may be used by others. BSD-licensed
code does not require publication of changes, for example, while the
Apple license does. Since much of the discussion in this newsgroup
focuses on license features and requirements, saying that Mac OS X
"is" BSD needlessly confuses that issue.
