I haven't touched Apple code in a few years, but in the past while doing development on their platforms, I've often downloaded code from opensource.apple.com or the darwin project, and I've usually encountered very high quality code (at least for the low level stuff I was looking at - primarily audio subsystems and objc language).

You can actually learn quite a bit looking at these codebases, and I'm glad they opened up as much as they did.

Did they have a choice to open up as much as they did?

The instant questioning of motives has always bothered me. Starting from a position of distrust makes for poor cooperation, and lower productivity.

It seems your questioning his motives as starting from a position of distrust, rather than curiosity :^)
