[QUOTE="ced89, post: 1890622, member: 407595"] Thanks for the precise answer. My question came from the point that I see many people adversiting that MacOS is opensource. Even if a big part it is, [U]it's not released as such[/U], you may try to recompile some of the parts from BSD, but that's it, and as you said, the majority of it it's closed-source. I don't really get why the people keep saying that. They also released many opensource tools, as well as many libraries and frameworks for Developers, but the second, as opensource version, it's always outdated, so I wonder what's the point of it.
