RE[8]: Crucifixion - What about webkit?

in reply to "RE[7]: Crucifixion"
Webkit wasn't created by Apple but they used it and gave back a lot of updates to it. So does Google and so does FireFox...
I'd say that it was because of Apple adding what they did to webkit that Firefox and Google became intersted in it. Surely you will give them this if nothing else.
PS: They are not going to give out all their code for free. They would have to be complete idiots to do that. If you were to run the company and do what you say Apple should do, it wouldn't exist in two or three years.

So you have some fanboys voting for your ignorance, bully for you.
Apple take the BSD kernel, make minor contributions to make their stuff work and everything useful is closed source. You can't run OS X apps on Darwin, no-one uses it and in fact OpenDarwin closed years ago; citing that it "become a mere hosting facility for Mac OS X related projects,"
I'm guilty of hyperbole but their contribution to the hand that feeds them is microscopic, you're acting like a shill.
