    macOS is very much not BSD. It’s its own weird (as in rare, not as in bad) thing that happens to ship a CLI BSD compatibility layer

    For example, you can read on the independent and somewhat distinct design of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XNU the kernel, which they open sourced anyways despite the lack of copyleft elements

    Edit: I am a staunch supporter of FSF and copyleft over permissive but what you’re saying is just wrong. apple is scummy just like the other big tech companies but it’s one of the least scummy out there, especially wrt open source. The biggest examples are WebKit and LLVM.
