Some of Apple is open too, but they are not bound to the GPL license like Linux, that allows foreign governments to rename them, resell them, etc., without any return revenue to the US. As far as it applies to this discussion, Apple's Darwin license is effectively the same as the GPL. China can, without payment to Apple, download Darwin, modify it, and redistribute it. There you go, a fully functional BSD variant every bit as good as Linux.
Learn you licenses before you start talking about them.
