One of the main new features in Apple's new Snow Leopard operating system has been released as open source. Apple has released the code of the userland portion of its Grand Central Dispatch technology under the Apache License, version 2. Mac OS X also has kernel support for Grand Central Dispatch, which is also released as open source via the XNU project. While we're at it, let's take this opportunity to look into exactly what Grand Central Dispatch is.

Anything like this in linux or BSD systems? I guess now that they have released it as Open Source and under the Apache License, they will find a way into the other systems. Any problems adopting them into the kernel for GPL or BSD licensed systems?
