I agree. Google would want to hide any Linux touches entirely. Actually, given that Apple systems are UNIX based too, how close was early IOS to Linux?

Well Apple has been using FreeBSD for some of the unix parts and the Mach kernel underneath for many years. They seem to be very alergic to GPL so linux is not something they want to go near at all. They really like the Mach kernel though. There was even MkLinux which was linux running on top of the Mach kernel which was how some Macs used to be able to run Linux. -- Len Sorensen
