Reminds me of March 24 to November 10, 2001, when Apple had embraced Unix and -- to some extent -- open source by releasing OS X, but had not yet pivoted towards glued-shut and DRM'd consumer electronics by releasing the iPod.

    Wasn't that because they desperately needed a new OS and just acquired Steve Jobs' company NeXT who had an OS called NeXTSTEP which was based on Mach kernel and BSD. They didn't embrace Unix and open sourcing out of goodwill.
