    Note that this is GNU-Darwin, not Apple's Darwin.

    It's a shitty distro with ripped off GUI graphics.

    I hope they are based in China, because Apple's lawyers are going to have a field day with this one.

    It is Linux with a reskin.

    Let's all have a party and download the tarballs from them for a week.

    That ought to put them under ;).
