The core of the Mac OS X kernel (Darwin) is also freely downloadable (the source). The value-proposition for Apple is the GUI and other non-OS icing on the OS.

Perderabo's reply about Sun's new policy also shows that Sun is shifting their value-proposition away from proprietary kernel source and looking to build future profits by adding value above the kernel.

There is little doubt in my mind that the movement to open-source for the core kernel code (open and extensible) and value added in the higher levels of the application stack is a path that will reap tremendous benefits to all network computing.

Please keep in mind that IBM is moving to Linux for many (if not most) of their classes of servers (and focusing on the value-proposition outside of the OS kernel).

HP (HP-UX) will need to follow soon (we hope!).

Here is an interesting article about IBM and Linux...... for those interested.
