Have you read the damn article at all? Source to source compilers are now against the TOS. Sure you can do it and how would Apple know - but commercially you can't advertise a tool that does it. Forget what's going on INSIDE Apple, people are pissed off about what Apple is trying to do to those on the outside.
Pardon me? I was not commenting on the article, I was commenting on the comment which outrageously claims pure bullshit that:
… Apple has been shutting off fundamental techniques
in computer science since day one.
And it does not name "iPhone team", it says Apple. What I say is that the work Apple is doing on LLVM, Clang, GCD, OpenCL, Webkit, etc. proves otherwise. I would gladly forget what's going on inside Apple, but first, I don't know, and second, this was addressed to some commenter talking like as if he knows (which he don't).
So, thanks's for advice, but be advised to read the thread before commenting.
