When Apple says open source they are referring to the source of their labour. Everyone knows their products are made by suicidal Asians because Apple is open about it.
How many companies are as honest as Apple? I doubt you can list many. Apple cares about the consumer, and that's a large part of what makes them so brilliant.
>>51700982
>apple supporting open source
Say whatever you want about them, but the "tech world" follows apple like a bunch of groupies.
This could be a good thing if they actually embrace it. I'd love for them to release code for Quartz beyond documentation. I hate X so much.

They just put proprietary software in Debian.
>>51701633
>implying open source is communism at its root
It's just another business model where selling support and development is more profitable than selling locked down code

Not really unless you count Redhat.
Webkit would have gone nowhere without apple.
>>51701444
yes
companies always ride the open source movement to further their own interest
see IBM's backing of Linux
see RedHat

Congratulations, you are the future

it's true though, its not saying that apple invented open source, its saying that Apple is the first company to use open source as a software strategy. Not like it matters though, open source is bad and doesnt grant the user the 4 essential freedoms
Apple didn't even exist as a company when public domain code was being passed around in universities with PDP's

Steve Jobs was like Jesus and we lost him too early
