<AKH> The Darwin core is available freely: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/
Thanks for the link. Their license looks rather like the GPL, actually, except for all the talk about Apple in it. <AKH> I wish I knew--I'd love to have Fink for Linux on i386, personally. I feel the same way, though my Linux machine is not in frequent use. <AKH> The Aqua layer (Finder, window manager, etc.) is proprietary, of course. I think a lot of the rest of the system is derived from open-source software, if not itself open. For that matter, one can run any open-source software that can be ported to Darwin. Perhaps what I'd really like is an Aqua de-installer, an automatic Apple peeler if you will. > Would Fink ever offer a replacement for the kernel?? I meant, I think, would Fink ever make a free kernel available for download/installation. It would be nice to be able to get all my system updates from one place. And not having to pay for further OS X updates would be a boon. Indeed, if Fink maintained a separate kernel w/ appropriate libraries (whether Linux or Darwin), it seems to me that the system wouldn't be so destablized by major Apple OS changes (like 10.2 -> 10.3). ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
