This is also the reason OS X ships with ancient versions of bash, make, and other common GNU tools: those were the last versions to be available under GPLv2.
(Why they ship many of the more optional ones at all instead of embracing external providers like Homebrew or Macport continues to mystify and frustrate me)
- salicideblock 10y agoIs it the same reason? Doesn't OS X allow you to replace the system bash? If someone breaks their init with this replacement, Apple can always say "reinstall the OS". But if you're talking about a car that has crashed that's a different PR problem...
