Like other tech megacorps, Apple hates the copyleft exemplified by the GNU General Public License... Its latest MacOS replaces the GPL'd Bash shell with MIT (weak open source license) licensed Zsh instead. Here're some past GPL purges from Apple: meta.ath0.com/2012/02/05/apple

If emacs is a Lisp IDE that just happens to contain an OK text editor does that make Chrome a forkbomb that just happens to contain an OK browser?
