At the heart of every networking device is an operating system that enables traffic flow. In the case of networking vendor Juniper, that operating system for the past ten years has been JUNOS, a network operating system with its roots in the open source FreeBSD operating system.
Juniper has updated JUNOS every 90 days since 1998.

...how much the source code for this OS is modded from vanilla FreeBSD. If it's not particularly modded, then the company can be forgiven for not giving back at all. On the other hand, if they've made substantial improvements to the codebase, it really is unconscionable that they would not be giving back. Yes, its allowed under the BSD license, but its not very nice. The fact that the BSD license allows this at all is one of the number one reasons why it stinks as a license.
