The point is that with something like FreeBSD style, it _isn't_
guaranteed. It's perfectly acceptable for a company to take the code,
improve it, sell it, and not give out the improvements. I'm happy with
this for Nano-X itself (but not the programs and things which run on it),
but I don't think Greg is. I don't think it's legal to take David Bell's
code and GPL it without his permission though, but I could be wrong.
