If you have specific questions, I can likely answer them as that's my 
main OS (which I'm writing this email on).

Apple's MacOS X has a mix of some GPL, a lot of BSD and is, in 
general, similar to FreeBSD in many respects. It has a proprietary 
GUI layer however. The default compiler is GCC and the toolchain is 
free software with proprietary GUI apps on top (for generating GUI 
elements, etc.).
