PJB

I think it’s just that government bodies like the EU move slow so it’ll take a while for them to bonk Apple, not that they’re “getting away with it” in anything more than the short term.

I could be wrong though.

The GPL has an exception for “system libraries” on this regard, but it’s as handwavy as the rest of the license.

The GPL isn’t meant to be a real license, it’s supposed to be a toxic waste bucket that companies don’t want to interact with. This it succeeds at.
