Yay to Apple for giving so much and taking so little from the open source comunity.

People are perfectly entitled to complain. Apple bigs up it's open source commitment, yet absolutely no sign of anything like iTunes for linux (yet they are more than happy enough to release it on Windows - hypocritical????)Apples open source efforts are just lip service.

"With many eyes, all bugs are shallow" - yay for open source!@suomi: it WAS open for quite awhile. Then Apple closed it up... and now it's open again. I think it's legitimate to post an article about the fact that it's open yet again after a brief lapse.

Apple doesnt do open-source, its the kernel, not the libraries and apps that are the OS itself. Darwin was open-source too, until they stopped releasing the source.
