@ Martin I read that article some time ago. Dont think you're showing me anything new That article mentions quite afew - not majority - of apple devs....and thats only for the FreeBSD project. How you translated that to majority...i don't know There are 4 other BSD projects that apple hardly derives from. But if you are realy interested in the dev's stats, each project provides a list of developers and some bg info on each. Find them, read them then we will be on the same wavelength for a productive argument. 2011/11/16, Martin Chiteri <martin.chiteri@gmail.com>:
@James, you might want to have a look at the links I posted earlier. I understand your cognitive dissonance. The link from I.B.M has a part that says " ...... But there is considerable overlap between FreeBSD and Darwin development, and quite a few FreeBSD developers are Apple employees."
I think that a number of key FreeBSD committers are Mac OS X developers simply because Apple hired them due to their operating systems' close ancestry. One of the guys is John Hubbard. Check this out [ http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/FreeBSD_Delay_Mac_OS_X_TMO_Speaks_Wit... ]
Once again, please open the links I sent and read the pages, I might be wrong :)
