Darwin is an entirely functional BSD OS for x86 and PPCs (http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/darwin/faq.html); the Aqua/Quartz graphics system is closed-source. I'm just curious why you don't make that distinction; do you have problems with the APSL as well (I don't mean that the way it sounds..)? -jnied To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
