Thank you for your comments.  I think this is a question of 
semantics.   The man page for uname (1) says:

and "uname -s" displays "Darwin".

Similarly, The man page for uname (3) says:

and the string returned in sysname is "Darwin".

So Apple apparently considers Darwin as a legitimate name for the 
Operating System.
