And why would you need that to run LLMs?
Apart from that, for the UNIX part, the source is available for quite a few components:

notably also the kernel

Strictly speaking, Apple can claim to ship a UNIX® operating system:

Yeah for a while they used that in marketing copy actually, but it's been a while I think.

kokonokko1337 already said it was good enough to run LLMs, presumably RunSet isn't saying the source code is needed to run an inference server.
They say, not doing anything with Linux’s source code other than mentioning its existence.
