Re: I switched from Android to iOS and I don't regret it

If you link the code from the old snow leopard version with the latest libraries (there's plenty of deliberate retro in KNOS because I prefer the style) and compile it, then you really could do that. You'd just need all the pieces and would have to modify the makefile to link up the stuff you wanted.

But I can't because Finder is proprietary along with large swaths of the system.

Which is also the reason I can't get Rosetta working in any version of OSX later than Snow Leopard. Got any answers for that? Hell, if I could remove the backdoors and Icloudery from the latest OSX and then get Rosetta working and Finder back to normal, I'd buy a new Macbook Pro tomorrow this weekend. Alas, your claims of opened sources are without merit and so I'm forced to kick Linux until it does something approximating what I want.

iOS? A good amount of it is ... download XCODE and it's in there.

Right, which is why it's a completely locked down DRM-constrained malware-riddled mess.

If your definition of "open source" though is "I ain't paying a penny" then looks like Stallman is about as good as it gets.

I was thinking more along the lines of "I get to know and control what it does." You know, free as in speech rather than beer and all that, rather than having to take SelkirkTMO's word or Tim Cook's word that there's nothing nasty in it.

Basically, the exact opposite of Apple's corporate philosophy that they know what I want better than I do.

Although by the way— you said Apple released source code as early as 2000. Can you link to the source for OS 9? The people who develop Sheepshaver were hoping to get their hands on that.
