Apple bases many of their products on Open Source. This is what Open Source is for. Taking a purely "Open Source" project to market is practically impossible and I wish the Open Source advocates for consumer use of open source projects would get this. There needs to be a commercial aspect to the derivative works or...why bother going to market at all.
Note that the HTTP Streaming Protocol is now with the IETF going through the standards process. So in the end developers can support standards and protocols set out by a standards body which assures fair competition in the market place and protects the consumer or they can go with Open which protects....who?
