Darwin + X Windows is Open Source (ie, you can fork it etc). OS X isn't. For other people, there are ways that Android is not "open" that really matter. Just ask Stallman, for example. No, Stallman argues that Android isn't Free Software (according to the FSF definition)[1]. He's correct in that. He also argues that the hardware for Android isn't open enough. He is correct in that too, but fails to note that most of what he says there also applies to the x86 PC platform (assuming it is using binary graphics drivers, which is how most Linux desktop boxes are deployed).
