  14.     If 386BSD was copylefted, it would be Linux. It's the absence of copyleft
  15.     that leads to the possibility of more than a bunch of random hackers
  16.     benefiting from it.
  17.  
  18. Please clarify this.  How is anyone else prevented from benefitting
  19. from it?   Say, for example, the same people who now benefit from GCC?
