You should expand your reading a bit, Mr. Eleven is Louder (which is my favorite blog title ever). The current binge of Apple criticism has nothing to do with Apple's FOSS code contributions. |

Quite so. The question is why Apple wants to control whether I look at cartoons of political figures, or ladies in swimsuits, or why it cares which development tools were used to produce apps for the apparatus I bought. Its like I go to the optician for my glasses, and I find in the case when I get them home, a EULA. The EULA explains at some length that I have one and only one license for this copyrighted prescription and that I agree to only use the glasses for looking at English Language PG rated content, which I agree only to buy at the store this optician operates. Oh, and I seem to have agreed not to use these glasses to read any books from anywhere while having a bath. Duh! |

> The question is why Apple wants to control... Actually the most recent criticisms are as to whether Apple thinks it's above the law or not. |

Apple has always been half-half concerning F/OSS. Many people who work there are all for F/OSS, but management is "closed". |
