Not too long ago, Apple open sourced its Grand Central Dispatch library, which aids in developing multithreaded code. It was suggested that it could be ported to other platforms, and the FreeBSD team has done exactly that. They have also done a lot of work related to getting GCD to work in a POSIX environment.

What _exactly_ was your problem again? You've been bitching about so many people and so many projects in a single thread that it just doesn't make any sense anymore.
So the *BSD crowd are thieves. Why is that? Because they cherry-pick as much public available code they like to port it to their project? Seriously, that's the idea? If it's available and they think it could be useful, it actually makes sense to make use of it, that's all.
It's just a bunch of code FFS, it's just text files containing intructions to be executed one after another by a CPU, wich happens to be unencumbered of license restrictions. My guess is that it was released that way on pourpose for others to integrate as they see fit, don't you think?
