I don't think MacOSX could be called free because its base is the UI
(nonfree), but latest APSL is 100% Free Software, from FSF website:
The Apple Public Source License (APSL), version 2.
This is a free software license, incompatible with the GNU GPL.
We recommend that you not use this license for new software that
you write, but it is ok to use and improve the software released
under this license.
It's true, it's more restrictive but it's still free (I know you don't
claim it's nonfree, it's just I want to to clarify it ).
Cheers.
