Sure, and I can see why they'd want to do that. My point is simply that Apple is pragmatic about it. Sure, they want permissive licenses if they can get them, and I think the FLOSS world is heading in that direction. I'm not surprised they take advantage of the trend. > They even eliminated X out-of-the-box, X11 is still a mess, and their development philosophy still sucks for users and 3rd-party developers. If I can use the Mac GUI, I do. Again, de-supporting X is arguably a pragmatic decision. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
