This is quite a ship-of-Theseus problem. Steve Jobs hired Avi Tevanian to work at NeXT on the Mach kernel, and later brought Tevanian to Apple; he was still working on the Mach/Darwin kernel as late as the first iPhone release. There is a reasonable argument to be made that the OSF kernel is actually the derivative, by default.

There are a few references to the OSF Mach kernel from '98 in a few files, such as https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/main/osf...

EDIT: Apple calls out Mach 3.0.

Apple took Mach 3.0 and collapsed it into a single address space for performance purposes. Certainly reasonable.
