    there's also Darwin, which is the BSD-core of Apple's Mac OS X. Darwin is Open Source, though Apple is pretty finnicky about who they let contribute for obvious reasons (it's the core of a commercial Operating System). There's also OpenDarwin which is basically a community controlled branch of Darwin that occasionally serves as a testbed for standard Darwin features. Darwin is based on a Mach 3.0 microkernel, though it's more of a hybrid than that simplistic description would suggest.
