    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

        True, but from what I hear, the dumps don’t really help much. Better than nothing, I suppose

          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.
