I think he's suggesting that Apple would have donated them to Homebrew and MacPorts if they had asked. Seems extremely doubtful to me...

Apple offered free remote access to DTKs for open source developers, in cooperation with MacStadium.

Apple did donate them to Homebrew without us asking. When we asked for more: they donated more.

What's "doubtful"? Apple has done similar things in the past...
