The benefit is that it's open source. If you want to build your own aircraft then it's pretty much default solution.

So ArduPilot is the actual software? for building a drone off of?

There are a whole range of vehicles using Ardupilot both land and air-based.

Originally built around the Arduino Microcontroller from what was once Atmel.

A lot of information is available at: Open Source Drone Software. Versatile, Trusted, Open. ArduPilot.
