I really find this discussion very, very odd.
If anyone wants the wild roaming freedom of true open source why
not participate as a professional in the Yellow Dog Linux support
mailing lists, Board or elsewhere where Linux for the PowerPC is
utilized heavily!
Because any Linux on the planet is a completely different beast. How
would you run a commercial Carbon or Cocoa app on top of YDL?
Doing open source develoment isn't about getting rid of that plenty
amounts of personal free time, it's about enhancing user experience.
Apple, has made it's decision to change CPU's for many reasons.
I don't see the relation between the openess of Darwin and Apple's
current choice of processor.
And I do view that Apple's position is very reasonable otherwise
it's code would be as easy to crack as Microsoft and development
would be more chaotic and harder to control; it would be also
extremely difficult to maintain the quality item that the Mac OS
actually is.
Huh? Following this argumentation, Linux would be a complete mess and
always open to intruders. As we all know, it isn't.
Apple never had a problem to defend Darwin / Mac OS X against
insecurity, poorly designed code and just ugly hackery. Sometimes
even against featuritis. This one of the things I love about Darwin.
Cheers,
Markus
P.S.:
I can switch to YDL and have a server on the laptop!
Darwin and even Mac OS X Client suits as a server quite well ...
