Apple not providing LGPL webkit source code for latest iOS 4.3.x
For iOS 4.1, which came out in September 2010, absolutely no GPL code for it (or later versions, like 4.2) was posted until March 2011. That's not 8 weeks: that's about 6 <i>months</i>.<p>When comex (<a href="http://twitter.com/comex" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/comex</a>) and saurik (<a href="http://saurik.com/" rel="nofollow">http://saurik.com/</a>) asked for it (via emails to opensource@apple.com and copyright@apple.con) around last November, I don't think they got any response from Apple —until this year. Then, Apple let them know that it would be up "within a week". I think the iOS 4.1 and 4.2 code actually went up about three weeks after they received that email.<p>saurik has even more examples of them not releasing the [L]GPL'd code near the top of this post: <a href="http://www.saurik.com/id/4" rel="nofollow">http://www.saurik.com/id/4</a> — "Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Apple ends up on the bad end of a GPL-related lawsuit."<p>(In my opinion, the fact Apple has posted <i>any</i> code for iOS 4.3 at this point is a big step in the right direction: they're not perfect yet, but at least they've got 8/10 of the projects up.)
