No damnation involved. Just clarity about what "supporting open source" means in the context of Apple.



You mean a comment that listed several open source projects started by Apple?


Where are you getting your information from? None of the projects listed there were started by Apple, all of them are used in successful Apple products, and all of them have been used by both competitors, and the community.


Sorry, I was responding incorrectly to the first child comment of the one linked to

> Swift, FoundationDB, Obj-C, Darwin...


Still unclear where your information is coming from. Neither FoundationDB nor Obj-C were started by Apple.


Yep, 50% fail rate there. And arguably even Darwin too, so make that 75% fail rate. I lose.
