The I anelyMac Forum has a post concerning an a arent modification A le made to their Public Source Lice e, the lice e that guards the open source portio of Mac OS X such as its Unix kernel, called Darwin. The changes the I anelyMac Forum cite seem to have been made to set up another roadblock for those who are trying to hack Mac OS X to work on non-A le hardware, though A le's site for the lice e say the latest version is dated August of 2003. Semantics aside, the changes quoted in the forum reflect the a lication of another fine-toothed comb to what users are not allowed to do with the source they download from A le's site. Too bad; with Vista receiving mixed reviews, I'm sure Michael Dell would still be interested in offering customers a better choice.
