One can hope for almost everything, but I'm quite sure you won't see sources. Apple is back to the closed source model it had in the MacOS (1-9) days.

Do you *know* this[...]?

It is the situation everyone can observe right now. Dave Schroeder described nicely what you can get today: GPL'ed stuff only.


Regarding the future, nobody knows, of course. Apple might re-open Darwin, but if you draw a line through Apple's open source efforts over the recent years, you'll need a lot of imagination to see this happen. What began with (almost) all open source, open communications to Apple's engineers and an enthusiastic community got more and more closed and has obviously taken the final step with shipment of the Intel iMac. Case done.
