This came up and was discussed at length yesterday.
Even less interesting today than yesterday:
and before, when the source article was discussed http://hackerne.ws/item?id=3731600
Mr. Closed vs. Mr. Open?? It would never happen, but I admire Mr. Jobs for at least trying.
It's not 'closed' vs. 'open', it's business man vs. engineer.
Apple has a few core development projects they offer for free. Darwin and Webkit to name a few.
The root issue is: Steve Jobs would never understand why you would do something that makes no business sense. Linus would never understand why you wouldn't give something away for free if you could.
