I did not say it was not open source. I said it's just a code dump, and so far you have not really proved me wrong.
There is not even a proper repository with version history, as far as I can tell. Just this stuff:
https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/commits/master https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/commits/master
That's literally a code dump.
- jki275 7y agoApple has in the past provided a fully bootable Darwin operating system -- no Gui, but the OS worked just fine. Your argument is pedantic where pedantry isn't warranted or necessary -- Darwin is a BSD and is BSD licensed, Apple doesn't have to share anything, but they do.
- pnako 7y agoI'm not saying they have to do anything. I'm just wondering why people on this thread are pretending it's anything except a code dump. Look at the Github mirror I've given above. All the commit messages are like this: Imported from https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/xnu/xnu-4903.221.2.tar.gz I mean, this is a response to an article that illustrates the severe limitations of Darwin as an operating system.
