Certainly true, but what I'm getting at is, the decision not to close up an open-source project is rather different than the decision to open up a closed-source project. I'm not saying Apple has never contributed to open-source, but that I don't think their decision to heavily support an existing open-source project really reflects on what they'll do with Swift.
