Big business like Sony and Apple prefer BSD exactly because of not having to provide everything to upstream.

Google prefers linux on the servers because of not having to provide everything to upstream.

That's a bit of a different case, though. Google isn't distributing it to end users the way Apple is with Darwin.

True, but in the end it's the same, you don't get access to the google nor the sony "magic" development.

BTW: Darwin is opensource:
