In fact Darwin is a free and open source operating system. If you use
Darwin-7.* it free and open, subtracting the binary drivers which are
largely not required. Darwin-6.6.1 is a workable free and open source
OS, or else GNU-Darwin would not distribute it. We have expunged the
proprietary drivers, and it works fine.
Judging from our sales and web site traffic, the Darwin community is
far from dead, and we are banking on the fact that it continues to grow
and wield its influence in the larger Apple community.
