Is Mac OS X open source?
- by hasen j
I learned recently (on superuser) that Mac OS X uses the bash shell. I also know that OS X has a UNIX core.
I was searching for information about OS X and Open Source on google, but what I found was this site:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/
Which seems to include the source code for OS X.
For instance, one of the links reads: Mac OS X 10.5.7 Source
So, is OS X open source?
There's an Apple Public Source License, but I'm bad at understanding legalese.
Update
Extra/Bonus question:
Besides the kernel, What about the various other pieces? The X server? Window Manager? File explorer? etc. What's open source and what's not?
