According to the Mach license:
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/FAQ/license.info
" 2. If the LICENSEE develops any enhancements to the software which
materially improves its operation and if those enhancements are
redistributed to others, LICENSEE agrees to make such enhancements
available to LICENSOR without charge and to allow LICENSOR to
redistribute such modifications and derivative works thereof to
others. LICENSOR agrees to withhold source redistribution of
LICENSEE's machine dependent software enhancements for a period of
eighteen months at the written request of the LICENSEE."
So, why isn't OSX code made freely available via the Mach license?
