As someone who worked at Apple for ten years, I can assure you that, for
the most part, "Jobs and company" haven't got the slightest interest in
open source software, other than a minimal amount of stuff available
under a BSD-like license, allowing them to take it, do what they want
with it, and then keep it to themselves.
