It all started with something they called MKLinux http://www.mklinux.org/ which Apple sponsored and that was latter forked into OpenDarwin where the swapped out a lot of the GNU licensed software for BSD licensed software but not all of it. In truth MKLinux was not really Linux at all because it used the Mach kernel its actually more closely related to GNU/HURD and in reality it was a GNU/Mach distro.
