Bravo and I am expecting to see other collaborations like AROS/osFree/Puredarwin/Plan9 (and derivatives)/Minix/Genode/Hurd/Syllable/ReactOs/Haiku.
I'm not sure what they ended up doing in the end, but I know that AROS was curious about Haiku's work on the WLAN (Wifi) stuff. I remember speaking with someone from AROS last year at SCALE - he was interested in Haiku's stack. I'm not sure what strategy they ultimately went with, however.
Since Haiku copied most of the WLAN stack code (as well as other netcard drivers) from FreeBSD, perhaps that's where they ended up going as well.
This is how FOSS is supposed to work

If only smaller OSes could collaborate more we would have even more high quality alternatives.

We need more collaboration, more alternatives in order to finish with proprietary solutions.
