<snip> > > They took FreeBSD, created Darwin, got volunteers to do a lot of their > work, then abandoned Darwin as an open source project. Apple did not take FreeBSD to create Darwin. Darwin was based on NeXTSTEP which was based in part on BSD 4.3. Apple ended up employing some early FreeBSD devs for OS X and uses FreeBSD as their reference Unix. While not contributing directly in a publicly acknowledged fashion that I'm aware of the project has benefited from their work. Most notably doing work on clang and working towards a BSD licensed developer tool chain. tom <snip> -- | tmclaugh at sdf.lonestar.org tmclaugh at FreeBSD.org | | FreeBSD http://www.FreeBSD.org |
