    Incorporating parts from a free and open-source Unix-like operating system does not make your OS FOSS. Apple would be the last company to contribute their MacOS source code.

      You missed the point of my comment which was open source is not antithetical to Apple and it’s not absurd to use a mac to work on open source software.

      To imply it is absurd to believe in open source and use a mac as part of development is fucking ridiculous. As I said in my comment open source has always had a place at Apple both historically and currently.

      Open source software is at the heart of Apple platforms and developer tools. Apple manages the following projects and encourages your contribution.

      https://opensource.apple.com/projects/

      As I said in my original comment, it is not antithetical to use a mac to dev FOSS. I’m not saying Apple is the goddamn FOSS Jesus

          No im not cheering about anything, my entire fucking point is Apple is not antithetical to open source.

          It’s that goddamn simple, it your making some sort of fan boy anti Apple war out of this and it’s honestly pathetic.

        so your argument is that apple doesn’t actively oppress your ability to program? And that it supports open source because it leeched off free bsd?

        are you actually stupid, or are you on the apple payroll?

        Supporting open source involves contributing to the amount of software available by open sourcing your own work.

        Leeching off open source software is not support
