IOS 4.3 sources are available

Possible responses:<p>a) See! That was a lot of noise about nothing.<p>b) See! Without that noise they wouldn't have done anything.

If you aren't sure what they are - javascriptcore and webcore have their origins in KHTML, no matter how much of it has been replaced by Apple it's still from that, gcc and gdb are well known GNU parts. CCtools seems to have Darwin origins, they chose to open source it.

The title is a bit misleading since it's only sources of a few tools used in Apple's iOS.

The release of this code should be an item on the product launch checklist.

What is this? Can someone give me an insight of these sources?

This is a step forward, but they are still violating the license. Those releases do not have the necessary information to build a new copy, as required by the LGPL: no project IDE (Xcode) files and no makefiles for the iPhone.<p>And, as saurik mentions here (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2523786" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2523786</a>), they do not even release the full source code! Even if you ignore the point about building your own copy, they are still violating the LGPL: releasing the code to those "WAK" classes is <i>not</i> optional.
