sure it does, open bsd got realtime extensions donated back to the project
from RTMX.com. I could find other examples if I wanted to also. The
advantage of the BSD licence is that if I invest a lot of time and effort
into something I can recover my investment. After I can donate it to the
project if I choose. And it is self limiting because if I do something
truely useful there is nothing stopping someone else doing it and releasing
it also.
