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?

Kroc, you should really learn to do the same as most of us here do; just ignore Moulinneuf. Most of the time he is just trolling around, claiming things without any arguments to support him and then calling anyone who disagrees with him with insulting names. And his obsession with using one's real name.. Ugh.

Just to degrade things, I might point out that Steve Bergman lists his (presumably) real name in his profile. Not that that's a particularly good thing to do on the net in the first place, or a reasonable demand to make on your part, but...

Moulinneuf is my actual real name, not a coward like some ( namely you ), and as no Y in it ...
Actually, it's not hatred, but then as one who is defined and live according to is hatred you would not know it.
The real point you miss is that even do it's a nice addition, it would be much better if that application had came from a BSD project, shared amongst all BSD and was complete.
Not like you have anything relevant or accurate to say anyway ...
I have no master and I don't suffer from any rage sickness ...
It's GNU and RMS you hate, out of your own made up fantasy world ... So you think because you hate him and it, I am doing the same with BSD ...
There is no "more permissive licensing." , A license when one is, is defined by the language it contain. It's either permissive like the GPL or it's not like most proprietary license, protection clause like BSD only allow usage and are not license at all as you have to be the onwer of the code to license something.
Also the BSD protection clause is copyleft.
Good for you, me I don't like thieves , traitor, cowards and liar, nothing personnal I know they can't be trusted.
They don't serve anyone ... not even themself.
I have respect for auhtors and other OS user's. If I am embarassing to things like you, it's an honor I will gladly do every single day.
Copyleft people, witch of course you are representing, even know you clearly indicate here not knowing what it is and a member of, you have a very limited set of definition of what an embarassement is :" Everyone who disagree with Steve Bergman aka sbergman27" Same as Troll for other's here.
BSD is not a license ...
You would have to be people to have preference ...
I don't know respect start with oneself, by using one real name it's a basic respect, so , no I don't have the same respect or was tought what respect is by the same people who taught you in kindergarden, what "this" is.
Wishfull thinking on your part ... Or worst projection.
Well some are as educated as you are about troll ... BTW this mean you never seen one in reality or in writting, or know what it would look like.
Stop complimenting me, I am beginning to think you want me to feel better about myself ...
