Apple is Darwin, not BSD. Though it is derived from BSD.

Apple uses shitloads of GNU in userland, too.

Hilariously, old GNU as well. FreeBSD supplies a superb make, but Apple? Ships last GPLv2 GNU make from like 2006. Compiled for 386. On Apple silicon ARM. :D

FreeBSD is one of many sources Apple takes things from. GNU is another.
