Yes, exactly, and that's what is so irritating.

WRT to GCC, that is also a legal reciprocity.

FWIW: I actually fit in the 3rd catagory above. I'm a developer who
does drivers for MacOSX. I don't, and probably never will, run MacOSX
on my desktop. I use the source mainly as a reference, and a
substitute for good documentation.
Anyway, I'm just trying to point out how much more Darwin could be
if Apple wasn't so paranoid. I'll crawl back into my hole now.
