Re: osx 10.8.1 opensource release
Well, actually, apple has no choice. Because they use a modified bsd package, and bsd is opensource under the gpl, apple is required by law to release any and all opensource components they use as they relate to bsd products. As a result, apple has been releasing each and every new update on their opensource pages, this is only the latest in a long line of releases, all of which are available for general public use. That's the benefit of using opensource products for those who use them, when someone else takes them and uses them for other projects, they too are required to release their source. Apple has done this, and nobody can fault them for doing so, since so many companies (especially large ones) try to hide the fact that they're using opensource products, and never once give back, or even release their source as the license requires them to do. You may remember the whole cd protection scheme back around 200-2002 timeframe. It was discovered that the folks who created that debacle were using opensource products to create their copy protection. You can be sure they caught all kinds of flack over that one, and needless to say, that product didn't last very long. Apple has been very cautious, and contributed much to the opensource community in this way. I applaud their efforts, even if it doesn't always benefit me directly, it certainly helps others, and that's always a good thing. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: osx 10.8.1 opensource release
Well, if it uses open-source to create the OS, then they would have to as for the terms of Open Source. I think the Apple OS is built on Unix, as is Linux. So it may be very much like Linux, which I think is the case.
