Must have been some confusion here.
- petre 6y agoIt was an old bash 2.x which was still GPLv2. Zsh being MIT licensed posed no licensing issues for inclusion into MacOS. I switched to zsh on Snow Leopard and above and never looked back. Didn't use the fancy stuff much and still use bash on Linux.
- lozf 6y agoISTR OSX defaulted to tcsh way back before the move to bash.
- kristopolous 6y agoNo there's no confusion. Maybe you thought I meant it was the default shell, I didn't. It's simply installed with everything else. The list is sh, csh, and zsh. The executable is on the machine. An operating system can have more than a single shell executable. Do you want me to post the binary? Screen shots? Maybe turn on an ssh hole? Perhaps send the man page? I can do all of this. You can log in remotely and run it if you so desire. I might be able to coerce VNC even although I'd probably need up port it to openstep (I've ported vnc before). Maybe there's a virtual box way of doing it as well
- ibotty 6y agoNobody is accusing you of anything. I understood that the phrase "Fun fact: That's a legacy openstep thing" referred to the previous comment indicating that (at some point in time) MacOS defaulted to zsh. It was just a misunderstanding.
