I'm not sure. As I recall there might have been an issue related to notifications (under Section 2.2 You May Deploy Covered Code, provided...
c) if You Deploy Covered Code containing Modifications made by You, inform others of how to obtain those Modifications by filling out and submitting the information found at http://www.apple.com/publicsource/modifications.html, if available; and ..etc.. I think there was some objection to this. Although it doesn't seem too onerous. Perhaps there were concerns that it would impact downstream users? I'm going to cross-post to debian-legal to see if someone there can refresh our memory. The best I can remember (from a year or so ago) was that Bruce Perens had issues with the Apple license, which were mitigated in some way. I don't recall if its was deemed DFSG-compliant afterwards or not. Certainly the GPL and BSD portions of Darwin are of no concern. -Brent > -----Original Message----- > From: Anant Kabra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 12:53 PM > To: Debian-BSD > Subject: Re: Musings on Darwin ... > > > Whats the license on Darwin?
