Indeed. SuSE also uses RPMs developed by RedHat, and I'm certain there are countless others. That's the nature of open source. Everyone adds to the whole, making Linux better for everyone. This is one of Linux's main strengths over both closed source and BSD-style licenses.
Do you like to elaborate why this should be not the case for BSD-style licenses? The possibility to keep your modified code closed doesn't influence the openness of the project. Please check how many important projects out there use non-GPL licenses.
Because GPL requires that any code added to a GPL project be itself GPL'd. BSD does not. This is not only a technicality, but also affects the culture of their respective projects.
