"Derived" is derived.  If you look at code that explains how to set
bits to enable certain settings, any code you write that applies what
you have learned is "derived" from the code you looked at.  The line of
code that you write to enable those bits is derived from the code you
looked at.  You can argue to the contrary, but unless you have the legal
means to defend yourself in court, you lose.  Unless you have the legal
means to defend NetBSD in court, you are playing with other people's
money by giving the response you have.

There may be no contamination from looking at BSD licensed code, but
APSL is not BSD.  Besides, if you like Darwin code that much, why not
run the operating system that is based on it?
