That’s probably more a BSD vs GNU issue, to be fair. Mac is based on FreeBSD. GNU/Linux, well... :)

- pcr910303 7y agoTo be exact, FreeBSD and macOS (based on NeXTStep) are both based on BSD, and contribute to each other. FreeBSD came out after NeXTStep was released though...
- asveikau 7y agoTrue that freebsd is more recent than NeXT, but they re-imported a lot of stuff from more recent freebsd over the years though. Look at a bunch of Apple manpages. Many of them say FreeBSD.
- AaronFriel 7y agoBash is GNU and so is much of the dated MacOS userland.
- burke 7y agoIf I recall correctly, much of the MacOS userland is dated because it uses the last GPLv2 releases of various packages before a move to GPLv3.
- AaronFriel 7y agoThat's what this thread is about :)
