Most of you will know that the underlying core set of components of Mac OS X and the iPhone operating system are released under the Apple Public Source License, an FSF-approved open source license. Few of you, however, will have actually used Darwin in any other form than Mac OS X or the iPhone OS. Despite numerous projects attempting so, Darwin has never gained any significant traction apart from Apple's own interest. The PureDarwin project tries to rise from the ashes of the OpenDarwin project, and has just released a Christmas developer preview.

Great to see this come back together!
Using Open Darwin as a base, and a GNUStep WM would make for a great Mac OS replacement. Étoilé is an interesting project, and PureDarwin just adds a little more diversity to the list of OSes out there; there’s too many Linux derivatives IMO.
