Sure, it&#x27;s flippant, but do recall that the entire concept of open source absolutely terrified IP lawyers not that long ago (and in some cases, still does).<p>Lawyers who are too conservative to allow their company&#x27;s developers to contribute to open source projects (that they don&#x27;t own) have a problem. Open source is way beyond pussy-footing around just to make corporate lawyers feel comfortable.<p>And seriously, if Apple can do it, why can&#x27;t they?
