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.

*Alert* Stallman follower detected in quadrant B.
What you fail to understand is, people are mostly decent at some basic level... Although they made a proprietary product based on the BSD code base, they probably *do* report back to the maintainers.
A lot of commercial users of BSD products are more then willing to contribute back in some way.. but they're not forced to do so at all.
Even if they don't contribute back, they still have the include the licence notices in product documentation.
