Of direct, practical interest to fans of kernels other than those from
Apple is that they have made code for other things available under
Apache-style licenses

- An iCal server (which will give the OSAF folks a run for the money...)
- launchd, which is kind of a modernized "rc.d" system
- bonjour, a system for network self-discovery/self-construction

All are at least moderately useful things.

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
