I think OpenDarwin is a perfect example of how a big company can't release some rough, basic code as "open source," tell the community to fix it up and get it useable, and then not provide much help beyond that.

From the OpenDarwin wiki article mentioned above, the OpenDarwin maintainers give reasons why they were shutting down the project:

Availability of sources, interaction with Apple representatives, difficulty building and tracking sources, and a lack of interest from the community have all contributed to this.

Please, Nokia, don't go there!
