I don't really see what you want from Apple, unless it's an LBO by the
FSF.  They follow the rules of the licensed software they use, as far
as I know (and in particular for Mailman, I published the URL to the
sources for the Mac OS X Server version of Mailman; there are in fact
about 10 of them there).

In fact Apple publishes a whole shitload of open source software (the
Darwin OS) developed in part through substantial Apple expense.  True,
most of that software is only of value to Apple customers, but that
beats the hell out of, say, the HURD, which is of value to no one.
