Of course,
all this is speculation without having the various
contracts and cross-licensing agreements they actually put
together. I
still think, however, that if they used standard sorts of
agreements, OS
X infringes UNIX. Since Apple has never seemed to be naive in the
business sense, perhaps we can assume from this that the licensing
agreements involved are NOT standard ones, and that NeXT got
rights to
the Mach kernel out of it...
Last time I checked, OSX was based mostly on BSD4.4-lite by way of
FreeBSD
and
bits of NetBSD.
