Apple not providing LGPL webkit source code

Apple not providing LGPL webkit source code

[Announcements] Posted May 9, 2011 17:27 UTC (Mon) by ris

Harald Welte notes that Apple has not been releasing the source code for the company's latest releases of Webkit, which is LGPL licensed software. "I think it is time that Apple gets their act together and becomes more straight-forward with LGPL compliance. It is not acceptable to delay the source code release for 8 weeks after shipping a LGPL licensed software. Especially not, if you have already demonstrated in the past that you are well aware of the obligations and have a process and a website to release the corresponding source code under the license conditions." (Thanks to Paul Wise)

Update: this situation would appear to be resolved for now.
