Hi Chris,
According to Apple's website (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.2/
), Core Foundation "Lite" and CFNetwork are open source under the
APSL. However, current versions of these libraries do not seem to
actually be accessible (see http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/
for example).
Dr Prabhakar tells me that they are working to resolve this issue, but
as yet we have not received word as to when these libraries would
become available as APSL sources.
Even if the sources were available right now, the current license
seems to indicate that users wishing to distribute the software would
need to build it themselves. This might be relaxed in the future (as
was done for Bonjour), but as of now it seems to be a necessary evil.
In the medium term, I will probably end up ripping out the CFNetwork
code to replace with native windows calls, though it would be nice to
avoid this needless work.
Thanks,
-Brent

Hello!
I'm reading on two different pages, the first from Apple's developer
site (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/internet/webkit_sptlib_agree.html
) stating that there is no distribution of the Support Libraries
(which I'm assuming is everything that is bundled within that
download.
However, I'm reading Alp Toker's blog, regarding the Cairo Win32
Port, and that the non-redistributable CoreGraphics port has been
replaced with Cairo, yet keeping the same Network stack and
foundation libraries. Taking a guess, are the networking stack and
foundation libraries (CFNetwork and CoreFoundation) redistributable?
Thanks for clearing this up.
