Heh emacs-22.1. Wonder where that's used. Scripting in elisp?

I wonder why they still write "OS X". Intentional or just due to somebody's lack of attention to detail?

I always preferred OS X over any of the similar names... I hate that they changed it back to MacOS

Either they don't want to release it or they can't (a third-party contract/NDA), at least right now. Open sourcing is often seen by big-businesses as potentially "helping" competitors undermine, replicate, sue, make interoperable wares which may threaten the "Golden Goose." It sucks, but that's the situation... lawyers can't force them to release other code unless they're caught TiVoizing some GPL 3 code or something…
I can't believe this is a serious comment. The majority of open source is crap, like 80% of it. People build what they need and forget about it. Often the code has no cohesion to the rest of the project and often it is of poor quality. Not to mention the ego's and lack of sociability of most projects. Apple didn't become the most valuable company by following that principle. Instead it took the approach of an egotist…
Off topic, but Tesla and SpaceX are definitely not "egotistical maniac who demanded perfection and required that all the pieces fit together as part of an elegant puzzle"
Long time ago, they used to also publish a bootable ISO of Darwin + all of those OSS packages. They did publish an updated Darwin core / kernel a few releases back, but it seems to be closed again. Too bad, I think someone with some determination could have gotten am hypervisor based container tech running on this. Of course the test would not run, but APIs shims could have made whole software compile (but not link).…

If Apple open sourced all of macOS maybe that would put more pressure on Microsoft to intentionally[1] open source Windows. [1]: It has been open sourced in the past: https://torrentfreak.com/microsoft-takes-pirated-windows-nt-... http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1030335/leaked-wind...

Because not all open source software has to be distributed via GitHub. Think about what happened to SourceForge, and be glad that the Internet hasn't become totally centralised around a few major websites yet.
Seriously the over reliance on Github is a systemic risk to the industry.

emacs is distributed with the OS, so the GPL requires Apple to make the emacs source available. (Even if they haven't changed it.)
Can't the just point to the gnu repo?
