How is Apple able to sell OS X for a profit when it's based off Linux which is open source/free?

Isn't that illegal?

It's not based on Linux. And even if it was, selling it wouldn't be illegal.

It's Unix not linux

It's based of of BSD, which is based of of UNIX. BSD, although it is free software, does not require you to have your modified version to be released under the same license.

They binned their decent UI and rebuilt it around UNIX
It's not illegal because everyone borrows from open sores softwarez
