The memory that XNU and Darwin are technically open-source projects is a curse that brings one only suffering.
replyI would call them open access. Apple doesn't accept contributions.
replyDoes not accepting contributions make you not open source? I would assume if the license allows you to fork it, that makes it open source (as opposed to "shared source" licenses that basically say "look don't touch")
replyI feel like Apple wouldn't want to make full Linux work on their hardware, but they could enable their Darwin kernel to emulate Linux syscalls and provide a way to boot into a mode that basically loads the kernel and whatever Linux shell you want
replyThis path is already taken and it didn't sell Apple hardware in masses.
replyMkLinux was first released in 1996, and discontinued in 2002.
replyI would argue that things have changed significantly since then.
