I’d prefer if Apple spent its scarce engineering resources on bringing new innovations to market and not facilitating other people to copy what they build. From Apple’s perspective the request is even more twisted: they should move to standardize all their technology and also give it away for free (lest folks complain about paying a “Core Technology Fee”!)?
So? Do you think great engineers or engineering orgs are a dime a dozen? The US government is a many trillion dollar organization. Have you used a government website?
