Well, strike that last sentence. While they don't sell the software separately, the software _is_ what mainly constitutes "Apple", and the hardware is basically used as a fat and stylish dongle. But the particular software that constitutes what "Apple" is all about is not and never has been made open by them. The BSD licensed stuff is not their business model. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
