Isn't Apple stuck to an old version of Bash due to the GPL, just like they were with GCC?

- teddyh 12y agoThat’s completely irrelevant, since there are patches for all old versions of Bash.
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoI believe that they can provide a patch for the old version if they release the source to said patch.
- wmil 12y agoYes, but there's another issue. Apple hard links /bin/sh to bash. They could switch /bin/sh to an Almquist shell like dash to mitigate Shellshock.
