OpenBSD "Even if you don't use OpenBSD, you're likely to be benefiting from it unknowingly. If you're using Solaris, SCO UnixWare, OS X, SUSE Linux, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, chances are you're using the OpenBSD-developed OpenSSH for secure shell access to remote machines. If so many are using this software, why are so few paying for it? Official responses (and non-responses) from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Novell, and Red Hat are below, but if you're one of the freeloaders who hasn't contributed to OpenBSD or OpenSSH, what's your excuse?"

"Take a look at Samba or Linux, for e.g."
Take a look at Apache, XFree, FreeBSD, Perl, Python, PHP and Sendmail.

Funny how none of the software you listed is licensed under the terms of the BSD, with exception of FreeBSD and Sendmail.

None of them is (L)GPL either. XFree is using a slightly modified MIT license and X.org uses the MIT/X11 license.
