Apple can claim it is "certified" as UNIX(TM). And publish the source for userland code it copied from open source projects.
Microsoft is trying again to subsume "UNIX" into Windows allowing users to run Linux binaries without running a Linux kernel.
But neither is a substitute for the original open source UNIX-like projects.
This blunder by Apple proves that even the wealthiest company on Earth does not necessarily produce better "UNIX" than a group of unpaid volunteers. At least if the user cares about the basics.
Would anyone feel compelled to apologize for mentioning a mistake by an open source project on Twitter?
The gentleman who tweeted about Apple's mistake actually apologized for it on Medium. Crazy.
