He probably confused open source with open systems (more precisely Portabale Operating System Interface and eXchange - POSIX). The key is that (as I understand) OS X is based on the Berkley Software Distribution (BSD) of Dennis Ritchie and David Kernegin's (sp?) UNIX operating system developed at Bell Labs when what is now Lucent was developing truly ground breaking tech.

What is Linux based on? Who is Linux Tovil? (careful- I met with a Norse named Linux Tovil in the late 80's so I believe that I know.)

When I was still developing code (for money) I didn't have time to do this kind of stuff. Where are you and who do you work for or through? Go out and make money man! www.dice.com
