I believe they started off with the BSD libc, but switched to glibc for compatibility reasons (since BeOS had used glibc for its "libroot" support).

Recent discussion suggests that glibc may still be retained only for the BeOS compatibility (i.e. a gcc2-compiled set of libs will still remain optionally-installed for BeOS compatibility) while a non-GPL libc replacement will be grafted in moving forward.
