Mac OS X Lately, OSX, or more specifically its kernel, has had a lot of attention. Benchmarks made by AnandTech have shown that OSX' kernel has some serious performance issues. As a result, some have uttered the idea Apple might replace the kernel of the MacOS with another kernel-- Linux seems, to them, the most viable option. Secondly, there have been speculations that Apple is closing the x86 version of its kernel. Note: Sunday Eve Column.

He didn't say that. He said that if they are written without Linux in mind than that implies they aren't a derivative work.
You've twisted that to be that they are not derivative if and only if they weren't written with Linux in mind.

If he's said what you're saying I'd love to see it because I've read his discussions about it and he didn't say iff.
