It might be the motivation for companies like Apple to use it instead of the GNU utils, but they're still using the old GNU utils (if they still even bother putting it on Apple Silicon versions of macOS).
- bayindirh 3y agoApple is not against GPLv2 since it doesn't prevent TiVoization, but GPLv3 is a complete no no for Apple as far as I can see.
- tcmart14 3y agoI may be wrong here, but my understanding is they don't use GNU utils, at least not any more. They use old FreeBSD utils, which is permissively licensed.
- hollerith 3y agoYou are not wrong. (Apple never shipped GNU coreutils or GNU tar. It did ship GCC long ago and maybe related packages like binutils.)
