The first link is a list of all of the FOSS projects that Apple ships 
with OS X. Some like GCC and LLVM are projects that Apple has 
contributed improvements. Others like CUPS are projects that Apple has 
opened up from within.

The second link is the top level reference to the source code to the 
core Unix OS (Darwin) for every OS X and iOS release ever published.

Apple isn't anti-FOSS. Apple is anti-GPLv3, and I for one don't blame 
them for that.
