    I suppose Apple uses Linux in some of their servers, so maybe. But their desktop product is Darwin so I don’t think that’s getting any votes

        Indeed, but with that kind of licensing there’s nothing stopping them. We already found limitations of GPL with RedHat, I think all of these licenses need an overhaul

              If they wanted their code to be sharealike, the developers could have chosen a different license. Apple is contributing more than is required so don’t complain?

                The point is Apple doesn’t actually want to help the community - they might be hoping that someone goes through their dumps and finds a vulnerability and reports it to them. Free community sourced labour.

                If they really wanted to help, MacOS should have been GPLv3. But we know that’s not how Apple functions.
