@Alan Which is very spineless of them. Big software corp taking advantage of opensource with a rep of giving very little back. @Aki You can try Darwin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) Its apple's attempt at harvesting more from opensource effort and its available on other x86 machines _______________________________________________ *Good judgement comes from Experience.* *Most of that comes from Bad Judgement.* _______________________________________________ * * 2011/11/11 Alan Orth <alan.orth@gmail.com>
Hey,
What Apple is doing with Mac OS X is completely legal. They're using code from the *BSD projects (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc), which are all licensed under the BSD license. The BSD license is not like the GPL; it allows you to use open-source code commercially without releasing your modifications to the source code. That's why corporations like BSD-licensed code and fear the GPL. ;)

Thnks guys for the response. Unfortunately I don't have the time to discover yet another "Open Source" system while could be the same people who probably get funding from off-shoot of some unknown or undeclared enterprise. Some food for thought for the Open and Free software evangelists... your highly valued UNIX based kernel ( FREE ) is the biggest billion dollar industry today. I know understand why Wall-Street-Protests are gaining recognition.
