So here is an interesting copyright question to ponder: are we allowed to redistribute binaries of open source software that have been compiled and signed by Apple?
Recovery mode on Apple Silicon will only run Apple-Signed binaries, but that includes any random thing from macOS. You can just run /usr/bin/python from a macOS partition. But what if I want to use python without having a full macOS installed? Can I just redistribute those?
Effectively: does merely compiling (without making any changes vs. published, freely-licensed open source code) an application create a derivative work? My understanding is no, because there is no originality involved in the process, it is purely mechanical.
But this will be an interesting one to ask the lawyers, if we find that doing things this way would let us enable new ways of installing Linux.
I believe you can, that’s what brew does when installing binaries directly.
What do you mean? I'm not talking about binaries *you* build and *you* sign with an Apple-issued cert; I'm talking about binaries *Apple* built themselves and signed *as Apple* (not as a random macOS dev) and shipped with macOS.
Is it GPL2? That almost feels like a TiVo situation, and if it's GPL3 binaries, it wouldn't be you violating Apple's copyright, it would be Apple violating the anti-TiVo clauses of the GPL3.
Apple does not ship any GPL3 software for this reason.
That's an interesting question. I suspect Apple could prohibit redistribution, but I'm not an expert in the field. Maybe we could look to RedHat. Am I allowed to redistribute all FLOSS binaries built by RedHat? I think the answer is no.
What I see is that software companies are usually permissive in this regard, but my understanding is that when you build a binary, you hold the rights over it unless software license says otherwise (and AFAIK common FLOSS licenses don't).
Short answer. No. The binaries container Apple propriatary, for example certificates signing the binaries. Probably also some modifikationer, new code etc. But, you can build from source, as Apple must provide the open source part. Which may or may not be complete code base.
I'm assuming any actual code modifications are provided by Apple in OSS dumps under the original license (if they aren't, then of course the answer is no). The question here is about the signed binaries - and I have a strong suspicion certificates/signatures are not copyrightable
