Doesn't make it right...and I'd prefer a license that doesn't make 
companies think they have to go to these lengths to use it while 
protecting their own code. As far as I'm concerned, they have the right 
to do whatever they want with their own code, unless it's a modification 
of CSDL that they are distributing. The GPL seems to be intended to 
force every piece of code to be GPL'd.

No, but there's a very good reason for that... ;-)
I did pay for my copy of Mac OS X.
