I agree. That's why I didn't add it originally.
And without wanting to get into an argument here, I think it is worth
noting that OSX is only what it is because of the open source community.
Apple didn't invent it, it took the technology and improved it (which is
fine, but if it wasn't for FreeBSD you'd be using OS9, well, probably
Linux).
