Darwin has an amalgamated license scheme. Various parts have BSD and GPL style licensing, but Apple uses the APSL to front their trade secrets. Although APSL is OSI approved, we are advocating for Apple to FREE Darwin, according to the standards of the Free Software Foundation.
All of the original code from GNU-Darwin will be GPL'd.
