Yes as far as kext's go, those are "kernel EXTENSIONS" and are usually proprietary device drivers with shitloads of non-disclosures" involved.

Yes, and the one I mentioned specifically is not a device driver. It's there to enforce DRM on Mac OSX itself— because Mac OS is a proprietary system and Apple wants to keep it locked down as all fuck.

But I can't go into Apple's solution, it's different than what KNOS is being held up for.

Why not?

Oh right, it's proprietary.

Way back in 2000, Apple was among the very first "big OS's" to publicly release sources except for which we're contractually bound by others not to release.

OK, so how do I make Finder on Yosemite act like Finder on Snow Leopard? The change in user interface is incredibly annoying, and if it's actually open source it should be easy to swap one for the other.

If it's ANY comfort to you though, FreeBSD has access to far more of Apple's code because it's where iOS and OS X "userland" came from.

Hold up...

You're not seriously claiming iOS is open source now too?
