It seems strange to me that they'd adopt this strategy in the U.S. because of past failures in other countries. Gplv2 makes pretty clear it's a copyright license, so I see no reason it would be interpreted under contract law in th

Apple probably doesn't care about the license, they care with how it interacts with their business. It's important to them that system level stuff is permissively licensed because they view it as important to keep their OS softwar

Is it that much of a problem as long as alternate OSes can be installed by the user? For example, the M1 chip can run Linux. I don't see how Apple and Google producing their own chips is much different as a consumer than the Windows&#x

I have met few PhD students who made the choice to get a PhD based on money or a higher earning potential. It's seems odd to criticize the choice solely on that criterion.

Having watched 4k77 and 4k83 as well as Harmy's ESB I have to say I prefer the 4kxx versions and am eagerly awaiting 4k80. Harmy is amazing for doing what he did. However even besides the obvious issues inherent in stitching different
