This project works on OS X, not just iOS.
- coldtea 13y ago"This is MIT licensed"
- eurleif 13y agoRight, and the MIT license is GPL compatible, so people can incorporate this project into GPL projects. But they're considering adding anti-Apple restrictions to their license, which would make it GPL incompatible.
- coldtea 13y agoSo? Why should the developers care about GPL projects?
- streptomycin 13y agoThe MIT license is typically used by people who want their code to be broadly used.
- kennywinker 13y agoThe issue is with the App Store. Apple can't ban you from using a "private" selector on the Mac, but they can ban you from using a "private" selector on the Mac App Store.
- eurleif 13y agoRight, but presumably they want to have one library that can be used both in projects built for the app store and in projects not built for the app store.
