Zeta "Zeta includes quite a lot of open source software. YellowTAB was able to include software like bash, GCC, VLC, to name just a few, with Zeta and thus profit from the work of many thousands of developers. However, programs do not always work straight away when compiled for Zeta and may require changes to do so. We make the necessary changes and fix bugs to make sure that these programs run smoothly on Zeta. Now it's time to give something back."

they may TAKE bsd code, they may ALTER that code, and they may KEEP the code to themselves.

so what ?

it is in the BSD license that they can do these things. It is not immoral and it definately does not make them thieves.

Microsoft and Apple have done exactly the same thing. Does that make them immoral ? Does that make them thieves ?

Sorry, should not have asked those questions here ;)
