Well that depends on exactly what you mean.  There's several that are
actively contributing and using code from both.  "Built on" is all relative.
 Given the SMP improvement recently from all of the major players using BSD,
if you're talking kernel code, I would say every single one of them has
pulled code from the 7-branch, and likely the 8-branch as well.
