I don't get it. Isn't Darwin open source ?

  macOS as of Leopard is “certified UNIX” (Single Unix Specv3). Darwin is the “Unix core” that macOS is built on, but it hasn’t been certified by itself[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

  Darwin is just a bunch of source code dumps at this point. Gone are the days when Apple provided an actual bootable ISO.
