Furthermore Firefox 3 uses jemalloc from FreeBSD, OpenSSH from OpenBSD is used in *BSD and Linux too, Linux kernel uses many drivers from *BSD, superpages etc., Google Android uses libc from NetBSD/OpenBSD and many parts of the userland etc. pp. As I said less hype :-)
Didn't know that Google Android was using libc from NetBSD/OpenBSD - haven't search for any info about that though. That's something new I've learned

Thanks for the answers!
