  Darwin (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darwin is a free, open-source, Unix-like operating system first released by Apple Computer in 2000.
The Darwin developers decided to adopt a mascot in 2000, and chose Hexley the platypus over other contenders, such as an Aqua Darwin fish, Clarus the dogcow, and an orca.
In July 2003 Apple released Darwin under version 2.0 of the APSL license, which the Free Software Foundation (FSF) approved as a free software license.

 Apple Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple helped commence the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II microcomputer and has since further shaped it with the Macintosh.
Apple is known for its innovative, well-designed hardware, such as the iPod and iMac, as well as software offerings exemplified through iTunes as part of the iLife suite and Mac OS X, its flagship operating system.
Apple was criticized for its vertically integrated business model, which runs against the grain of some of the "perceived wisdom" of economists, particularly for the computer industry.

 Apple Darwin - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Darwin is the core operating system of Apple Computer's Mac OS X, and runs on an open source kernel called XNU.
Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly the Mach 3.0 kernel, operating system services based on 4.4 BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution, particularly FreeBSD), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.
Currently Darwin is built for both Apple's PowerPC architecture as well as for the Intel architecture, though the latter only has very limited driver support.

Apple helped start the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with its Apple II and shaped it in the 1980s and since with the Macintosh.
A number of different models of the Apple II family were built, including the Apple IIe and Apple IIgs, which could still be found in many schools as late as the end of the 1990s.
Apple has been criticised for their vertically integrated business model, which runs against the grain of much of the 'received wisdom' of economists, particularly for the computer industry.

 Darwin, Evolution in Action   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In any case Apple is the first company to release major portions of a commercial OS as part of an open source initiative.
Also, with work Darwin could be compiled for x86 architecture (in fact, some complained that Apple stripped the necessary information to do this from the Darwin distribution, assuming such was extant as part of the Rhaposody for x86 project).
But mainly I think the importance is twofold; it signals Apple's interest in working with the open source community, promoting the possibility of synergy with unix developers, and it makes it easier for developers to write code for OS X and OS X server.

Apple is working on a port for Intel-architectures, however.
Also the hardware support for Darwin is done by Apple itself as it also is the basis for MacOS X. So a better hardware support is to be expected here.
And finally there was a disclaimer that allowed Apple to terminate the license and stop the further use of the software at any point if copyright or patent claims are being made against Apple.

 MacSlash | GNU-Darwin Dropping PPC Support
Apple is probably the most profitably involved commercial contributor to open software out there right now, and it's also setting an unprecidented standard for open software at a world-wide, larger distribution level than free software has ever managed.
Apple has entered into proprietary agreements, which are legally binding, so it is impossible for them to free all of their code at this time.
Apple might not include some information, for device drivers, this is not necessarily their fault, They do a lot of licensing from 3rd party manufacturers, and to give out some of the source also gives out trade secrets from other manufacturers which violates their licensing agreement.

 E-Commerce News: Developer : Apple Posts Darwin Source Code, Pulls OS X Update
Despite Apple's move to pull the Mac OS X 10.2.8 update because it reportedly disrupted Ethernet networking connectivity, developers still can download the latest Darwin source code, including versions 6.7 and 6.8 for OS X 10.2.7 and 10.2.8, from Apple's Darwin release site.
Apple said its primary focus for Darwin is the formation of a community of users and developers with source-code releases intended to support Mac OS X. Still, the company expects others will use Darwin to customize OS X with additional services and features that are not necessarily a priority for Apple.
Apple user discussion boards also indicated other issues with the update, and the company was criticized for poor quality-assurance controls and the inconvenience caused to its users.

Darwin is great for OSX developers because it lets you look into the source of OSX and see how it works.
I know it's good that Apple have kept open the core of their OS (although it'd be a good step to see more Aqua code), but surely if you want a PC-based UNIX you'd go for some BSD flavour or Linux in the first place.
Apple estimates that about 20% of an average classic mac os program will have to be changed in order for it to work under Carbon.
