also as another commenter said, apple had a donation matching program so could possibly have been some employee donated $20 and apple matched it
also also, osx is based on openbsd; not freebsd so id expect them to donate maybe to kernel development and the actual distro it’s based on rather than a random other one
This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I couldn’t find any sources for it. Everything I’ve ever read indicated they based off of Mach and FreeBSD. I’d love to see sources to the contrary.

ah you’re totally right! idk where i got that from: i’ve thought openbsd for yeeeeeears
The BSD’s are easy to get mixed up tbh
Yeah, it’s taken from FreeBSD.

Any OpenBSD references are related to things like documentation and the “pf” firewall, which FreeBSD imported from OpenBSD to begin with.
