Was the blog post titled „how to be the worst OSS citizen“? That would at least be consequential

To be honest, I wasn’t aware of this option when I wrote this library. Nowadays I would chose this path.

Yeah, well. What should I say. I wanted to use it in a commercial project, too :)

Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.

Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.

I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.

I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.

I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…

If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList

Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.
