That is really disingenuous.   Apple gives back a ton to the open source =
community.  Besides the whole webkit thing, FreeBSD has a bunch of code =
that Apple put back as do lots of other projects.  This is a GPL issue, =
not Apple's "ability to benefit from other people's work, [and] not =
contribute back".
