Update***
Beta 2 of Safari came out with Tabbed Browsing, its great, unfortunately I havn't had much time to use it. The tabs come from the top instead of the bottom. This makes them look like they hand from something that is always there vs just magically sticking to the toolbar like in Chimer and Mozilla.

It's free because it's GPL'd so they're legally obliged to make it free, not because they're "a good open source citizen" as they claim. If they were a "good citizen" in the sense that they're implying (what is a good "open source" citizen anyway?) then they'd make their OS core - or better yet all of OSX - properly free.
I still don't see how people think Apple making their OS core open source benefits anyone besides Apple? They don't deserve to be "stood up for", at least not over this issue.

I know this is a little late. But Apple is being a good citizen. Does a good citizen follow the law, yes. Also if Apple were not being a good citizen who would sue them? the KHTML people?!? Even if everyone who worked on HTML ever threw in their entire life savings into a lawyer, they still couldn't beat Apple's lawyers. Apple knows this, so they are being a good citizen by not exercising their wallet.
