Stripping down Apple’s products and history may tell us a bit about

based on Free Software developed at universities by taxpayers money.

Well, given that Apple Inc is a tax paying legal entity, they do have a right to use research results... Or is use of the same limited to non-corporate tax payers?

Nice business model. Borrow as much as you can from university

projects; student’s toil and taxpayer’s money. But don’t give anything

back. Use it to create an airtight compartment where every right to

your customers and developers is refused.

They do pay taxes from their profits... Again, many corporations do this, not only apple. Are you by any chance allergic to apples :) ?
