By this definition of open source, an open source windows or mac app would be a contradiction in terms, since any such app would rely on libraries and os calls that aren't open source.
- remram 3y agoAn "open-source 3D renderer in just 1,000 lines of code" that just calls DirectX, I would call out, yes.
