CUPS Purchased by Apple Inc.CUPS Purchased by Apple Inc.Posted Jul 13, 2007 16:04 UTC (Fri) by hawk (subscriber, #3195)In reply to: CUPS Purchased by Apple Inc. by mheily Parent article: CUPS Purchased by Apple Inc.
While I generally agree with you, I would still wait with thanking Apple before we know they plan for the future of the free CUPS.
For one thing, do we know if they will really sponsor the free version in any way or if they they just wanted the head developer working on THEIR version (that may now be relicensed under any terms Apple wants), doing what THEY need most, instead of "that free stuff", not necessarily feeding any/all of those changes back into the GPL version?
I hope that you are right, but I somehow doubt that it's really that generous a move. For one thing, if they just wanted to help CUPS, they could easily have just sponsored the CUPS development without actually buying it.
