Is that different from the 11.2 million products that slap a couple of proprietary userland apps onto a stock linux base and distribute the set as an appliance? Or do you feel that muddies the water as well?

I don't mean to be inflammatory, I just really don't understand the difference, because the linux community seems to generally support things like embedded linux installs so long as the free software bits are properly attributed and distributed, and Apple's use of a BSD base seems largely similar.
