Perhaps it is simply your manner or the way I interpreted an abrasive and/or curt post.
Having said that, I am an attorney, and as open source matters to you, logic matters to me. You did not state an opinion. You stated something as a matter of fact. As a matter of fact, in terms of audio, the two formats are equivalent. No one is forcing you to use an Apple codec. You want open source? Then how about turning to Microsoft? Apple Lossless is perfect for audio, just as much as FLAC, and it is convenient for Apple users. Incidentally, Apple users comprise 3% or so of the market. I don't think you need to feel threatened by them.
