There are times when you read something so well laid out and to the point that it’s difficult to add something to it.
In my opinion, this article about the X86 OS X kernel source code closing is one of those cases.
Short story shorter, Apple objected that opening the kernel sources is going to affect the interest of only a fraction of a fraction of their users.
Sad as it is, it may be true; nonetheless, as the title of the article clearly states, it miserably fails getting to the core of the open source issue.
The article is just a reply to an objection rather than a full coverage, yet it says a lot, and it raises interesting questions. At least it did for me.
So read it if you care.
UPDATE:
The kernel source was opened in the end. Apple is engaged in a number of twists which look friendly towards the Free/Open Source Software movement. Kudos to them. I will buy my copy of Leopard when it comes out.
