Still I find interesting that Apple and Microsoft again choose different strategies to try fill the gap between them and FOSS supporters: -Microsoft is gonna include an FOSS unix subsystem -Apple for the first time in his history is going full FOSS for Swift development

It's just the Swift language itself that is open source and a few libraries. Most of the OS X layers above BSD are still closed source.

It's not "more open" than C# and .NET in that regard.

Sorry if I was wrong I absolutely now nothing about c# & .net.

Does it mean one could actually review code and fork theses languages too if need be?
