I am sure Pat will love this one.
According to this article, open source matters to Apple. One of the things he mentions is that new Mac OS Forge site and how Apple opened up the iCal server.
Quoting from the article:
"It's sort of like Apple's way of looking out for the little guy. In addition to these open source developments, Apple has also released the source for iCal Server, and they've made licensing changes to Bonjour and Launchd (now distributed under the Apache License).
Apple deserves a round of applause for these advancements, and it's very fitting that they timed the announcements of them during this year's WWDC. Developers can rally together and get behind this stuff, and it's obvious that Apple is trying their best to please its third party developers in any way that they can."
Hmm....

I'm happy for Apple. It's about time they gave something back to the F/OSS community for all the features they've lifted or "borrowed". They're still a closed source proprietary company that has a monopoly in the digital music market. When will the DOJ go after them for that?
