Apple made Mastodon guide
Is Apple going to make a Mastodon server? I think that'd be pretty cool. In Apple fashion, it would require an app only available on iPhone and Mac, and this app wouldn't be able to connect to third party instances.
But it would move like half the US to Mastodon, which would be great.

WebKit is only open source because its a fork of KHTML, originally developed by the KDE project ^[0]^ for the Konqueror browser ^[1]^. KHTLM was developed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) ^[2]^, which limits companies from taking the hard work of open source projects and claiming them as their own without giving back to the community.
If Apple's surprising you with the "open code" released under the WebKit project, it's because they're legally requried to. We can thank the Free Software Foundation's LGPL for that.

in reply to Dame • • •They can build an activitypub compliant app and service? They don't have to touch the open source project.
Apple has an amazing amount of influence. They could easily make the platform, and break it in an instance whenever they felt like it.
