Apple releases code under free licenses because they are required to and do exactly that minimum required.

  That's not entirely true. launchd was released under a free license, and it was one of the most interesting innovations in software in a long while, for example.

    So now copying what Sun, Aix, Tru64 and HP-UX already did is an innovation, I guess it goes with the muster of many Apple "innovations".

      You're completely wrong in Sun's case, SMF is nothing like launchd.

        It looks quite similar to me in concept.
