Description Jason Helfman 2011-03-08 02:10:00 UTC 
Darwin link is broken, as opendarwin.org has been shutdown.
I found a suitable replacement called PureDarwin, and took a description from their page regarding the project.
I tried my best to make the description as close to what they have listed, and what is currently represented for Darwin on FreeBSD's website.

Hm.

puredarwin.org seems to be pretty much dead also.  No news for more than
a year.  And downloads are either not there or not working.

So the best solution is probably to remove the Darwin link completely.

  Remove the link to Darwin/OpenDarwin:
  - OpenDarwin has been closed down in 2006.
  - Apple has stopped providing binary install images for Darwin.
  - PureDarwin (which tried to follow up on OpenDarwin) has not been udpated in the last 15 months either.
