Still proprietary though, right? With underlying free libraries and compilers?
- cnorthwood 8y agoYes, it's gratis, not libre. I understood the parent comment to be referring to the price.
- mattl 8y agoI understood it the other way. Proprietary cables to free tools. ️
- simonh 8y agoThe components that are specific to the Mac, such as the GUI builder, are closed source. All the underlying tooling and technologies such as the LLVM compiler stack, Clang, etc are published by Apple as open source and widely used on other platforms.
