With the release of Darwin 9 and the Darwin 9 source packages I am wondering if there is any plan to release some of the binary driver kernel extensions as prior Darwin releases have contained. Right now, one must apparently purchase a copy of OS X to be able to run Darwin since several pretty key kernel extensions (e.g. the ACPI platform expert) are not part of the Darwin release. Prior Darwin releases included the binaries with a license to use them and redistribute them in the APPLE_DRIVER_LICENSE.txt file. Is there any chance that these binaries will again be licensed for free use or is AppleI386GenericPlatform the only option now? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
