Well, strike that last sentence. While they don't sell the software
separately, the software _is_ what mainly constitutes "Apple", and the
hardware is basically used as a fat and stylish dongle.
But the particular software that constitutes what "Apple" is all about
is not and never has been made open by them. The BSD licensed stuff
is not their business model.
