Current "issue" is, Apple isn't joining the OSS movement, no matter how
many press releases they write to the contrary.
And that fact can leave a bad taste in the "community's mouth."
If you haven't seen slashdot today, there's a great article at
http://perens.com/APSL.html/ saying why the Apple Public license ISN'T
open source; it's kinda interesting that they effectively "released" the
mach kernel and other things that were already released from CMU and UC
Berkely; thanks a lot, Apple.
Later,
Paul
