Apple opens Tiger Darwin kernel
Apple is also encouraging community participation with a new open-source calendaring server, releasing source code to the new iCal Server in Leopard Server on Mac OS Forge under the Apache License. Additionally, to further enable and encourage cross-platform adoption, the company is re-releasing APSL sources for Bonjour service discovery and Launchd process management under the Apache License hosted on Mac OS Forge.
"Apple is more excited than ever about the power of Open Source development to create value for our (and your) products and customers," said Prabhakar. "I'll be offline much of this week due to WWDC, but I look forward to working with all of you as we move forward to Leopard."

It's always easy to talk ***t about Apple when then do something bad, but when they do the right thing.. we never hear a good word. Same ole crap.
I think they're quietly mining some of the research (not code) of Pink-Taligent as they move ahead with Mac OS X. Collaboration support at the service/framework level was a cornerstone on that system and "Spaces" could be a first step towards the Taligent "Places" UI concept which was much more than virtual desktops.
Sad reality is the industry is still 10 years behind.
