Mac OS X Kernel Source Now Closed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nice-while-it-lasted dept.

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."

    "Meanwhile, those with legitimate uses are locked out. Doesn't really make much sense to me."

    It doesn't make sense to you because you're a slash-moron. All legitimate users of MacOS X and of Darwin-x86 get their binary images from Apple to use on their Apple hardware. Just because you don't like the definition of "legitimate" doesn't make you less of a moron.
