BSD and Darwin derivatives 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.

Yeah, I think most of us here know that.


I know. However, the person I replied to obviously did not know, so I pointed this out to him or her.

You don't point to any.


Nobody is talking about advantages. We were discussing *differences*. Those are two different things [and the lamest joke ever award goes to...!].
