Define 'contribute back'. I tend to think of Darwin as being a fork of BSD, so in that sense Apple doesn't commit back into BSD source repositories. But Darwin is open source, so the BSD community is free to take any ideas that please them.
- gillianseed 14y agoAFAIK Darwin is licenced under Apple's APSL which is copyleft-based so it's likely the BSD's can't lift code from Darwin. There was OpenDarwin though, which the developers shut down due to lack of interest and other problems. Now there's PureDarwin but development seems very slow.
