The GNU-Darwin World

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-all-come-together dept.

proclus writes "The GNU-Darwin Distribution was founded to leverage the open source development dynamic and build the infrastructure for scientific computing on a new platform. Now GNU-Darwin is a major free software project, and the infrastructure, such as parallel computing and molecular graphics software is available to everyone via the web and on digital media discs. Check it out. Also, Apple has written up a story about it."

  1. APSL by gooru · · Score: 1, Troll

    I don't know about you, but the APSL scares me a bit. There are some real nasty clauses in it, and Apple has this habit of stepping on everyone's toes. Their "Open Source" license is really giving them the ability to take your work and sell it as their own. I'm a Mac fan, but I'm hesitant to develop for them. Apple has a habit of forcing the people who support them out of the market and making enemies of their close friends. Look at the recent developments with Final Cut Pro, Safari, Soundtrack, etc.

    The answer is clear to anyone who is willing to take our many accomplisments at face value. It is clear to anyone who is willing to come to the source for their info instead of running to gossips, liars, and fud masters. Check the documentation yourself. This thread is dead.
