Mac OS X Kernel Source Now Closed

littleghoti writes "Macworld is reporting that "Thanks to pirates, or rather the fear of them, the Intel edition of Apple's OS X is now a proprietary operating system." Mac developers and power users no longer have the freedom to alter, rebuild, and replace the OS X kernel from source code."

Open source isn't competing anyway. People will use it, or they won't. It doesn't harm the movement.

Stallman just wants everyone to do things his way. That's his beef, and it makes him look increasingly hypocritical to talk about freedom while promulgating methods of subjugating all computer users to his way of doing things. That's why he only matters in his little circle of fanboys. Most of us aren't interested in his ideals. We just care about using a computer.
