Nah its not any more a bad thing then when google and other people
hired the main developers for any other platform. Apple has been
using cups for Mac OS X printing for a long time now.
They will still be releasing under the gpl, obviously apple might
have specific things that they will not release just as they don't
always release the changes made to safari back to its originator....
Also think of it this way... if cups _was_ for sale, imagine if
microsoft bought it?

I'm torn, Google has hired several OSS people and pays them to
continue what they are already doing. Apple is working with Google...
Birds of a feather. On the other hand CUPS is pretty important to
Linux. Apple could see Linux as a threat. This could be a way of
handicapping Linux. I just don't see this as being as shady as the
Novell/MS situation. Printing on a MAC is pretty decent already, not
sure what they might be up too. Why did it take so long to announce
it?
