Open Source, pay for Apple's WebKit and Apple's contributions to FreeBSD and other open source projects.

Every Linux box that is connected to a printer (specially networked printers) runs CUPS in part by Apple.

Also, FreeBSD is a small part of macOS, contrary to what some people want other people to believe, and FreeBSD is not in that camp of GPLv3, so no, FreeBSD is not on that disgusting echo chamber leaded by Stallmann

CUPS was an independent project before Apple bought it, and we haven't exactly seen major improvements since the sale.

So then Apple should pay KDE for KHTML, for WebKit is just a fork of that?
