I'm sure for the most part, people on this list aren't much into the "popular press", but it seems there was a post on MacCentral this morning that may be of interest to folks on this list. Example Statement: "Thanks to pirates, or rather the fear of them, the Intel edition of Apple’s OS X is now a proprietary operating system. Mac developers and power users no longer have the freedom to alter, rebuild, and replace the OS X kernel from source code. Stripped of openness, it no longer possesses the quality that elevated Linux to its status as the second most popular commercial OS." Perhaps people here may want to comment. Admittedly, I'm a lurker more then a kernel hacker, but I thought this was addressed weeks/ months ago with the recent release of the source of the kernel for Intel.
