“Responding to the growing “open source” movement, Apple
Computer Inc. said yesterday it will make key portions of the
software code behind its new operating system freely available to
software developers.”
“The new software, called Mac OS X, is Apple’s first modern
server operating system and was released to the market in the
United States and Canada yesterday.”
“Apple’s decision to release some of the fundamental code behind
Mac OS X is part of an increasing trend among firms to share their
source code with a global community of programmers, who in turn
offer improvements at no charge.”
