To be honest considering that you can't understand the extraordinarily
simple BSD license I doubt you'll get anywhere far.
Secondly Apple didn't take FreeBSD and rebrand it, OS X is a far more
complex beast than that.
Their kernel is a Mach based microkernel and the BSD layer is
merely one of the thread stacks that plug into it.
What are you actually trying to accomplish?
As I suspect that you are very likely to be asking for assistance
on a non-stop basis.
