Sure it's Canonical's NIH and not Red Hat NIH, since both got released in December 2014?

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoFair enough. On the otherhand, does it really matter? The result is the same. GNUStep had Application Bundles and was developed in the 90s. ROX Filer had AppDirs and was developed in the late 90s and early aughties. Klik (now AppImage) was developed in the early aughties. There's plenty of NIH to go around on this one.
- jhasse 8y agoYes, because Snap doesn't support different repositories easily and everything atm is based on Ubuntu base-images. Also the license is GPL+CLA allowing Canonical to relicense it under a proprietary license. Furthermore they require AppArmore for some features which some distros can't use (it isn't part of the mainline kernel AFAIK).
- jhasse 8y agoOkay I was wrong: AppArmor is part of the mainline Linux kernel. I think it were some Ubuntu-specific patches then which were required for some of the sandbox features. I will try to find where I read it again.
- privateSFacct 8y agoThanks for the follow-up and details - I wasn't aware of all this.
