That makes little enough sense for a development environment since the actually relevant sales are for the machines running the resulting applications. If people can just buy one Mac to develop software running on 100000 non-Macs, Apple hasn't gained anything worthwhile. In our case people are restrained from using one non-Mac to develop software running on 100000 Macs. Using software that cannot sensibly be offered in Apple's Appstore. This is not as much about protecting the hardware sales model (which definitely was the case when desktop Macs were much more relevant but precedes this kind of Xcode license) but about keeping the walled gardens locked up. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
