You are an idiot. Apple releases the source code to much of their technology: http://opensource.apple.com/ and http://www.macosforge.org/ and https://www.apple.com/opensource/

Why the personal attack? Just because they release some of their source code does not make them invulnerable from being seen as evil that they are for their perspective technology sector they operate in. And for the consumers for example in form of lawsuits and trying to smoke out their competitors.

I'd guess that it's a tit-for-tat retaliation for the grandfathers rather needless troll. Not excusable, I grant you. Either way, none of the post belong here.

It's sad that we are seeing more of the frankly utterly pointless and puerile posts and articles here. I thought we were all above this pettyness. Alas it appears that I was wrong. Neither party come out of this with any dignity.

They mainly release what they have to. They have been constantly reducing the number of OSS libraries with each new OS X release.

Do you have any statistics to back up that claim?
