The "You must release changes"-clause and anti-tivoization clause might be not be enough individually to switch to MIT zsh but probably were together good enough reasons for Apple to switch.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoWhy? How does this affect them on macOS at all? If Bash were also being used on iOS that would be different, but I'm quite confident that will never happen.
- 1over137 7y agoAgain, perhaps it is because Apple is planning for a future where SIP and Gatekeeper cannot be turned off. A future where macOS is basically reduced/merged to iPadOS. Time will tell.
- musicale 7y agoI expect Macs in enterprise/education are locked down so that Gatekeeper and SIP can't be turned off by normal users. But preventing ALL Macs from turning off Gatekeeper and SIP? I think that would be unpopular.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoA company or school can already do this easily, by the way, by setting a boot-loader password and restricting admin access. Notably, this are normal macOS functions, you don't need a fancy mtm setup.
- dcbadacd 7y agoThat would violate GPLv3, wouldn't it?
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoIANAL, but I really don't think so. On a company laptop, the company owns the laptop, and the company can lock it down as much or as little as they want.
