       I'd phrase that as “Apple could not comprehend #FreeSoftware enough to use Freedom 1”.Everything, *and this must include the build system*, is open for examination. Guaranteed by the #Emacs license.If Apple can't determine whether it's malware, and they pop up a big announcement of that? They're announcing they're incompetent.@rossquantum

       Serves me right for closing it in the first place.

       Yeah, I know this is just some quirk in MacOS scanning of installed programs. It's still funny. @rossquantum

       @bignose @rossquantum The quirk in question is that macOS scanning happens on an Apple server. App publishers must submit their apps to that server for scanning. If the scan checks out, the server generates a cryptographic signature of the app, certifying it as malware-free.App publishers must agree to a giant wall of legalese and pay $99/year for the privilege of scanning their apps. FOSS developers generally won't do this.

       @argv_minus_one> macOS scanning happens on an Apple server. App publishers must submit their apps to that server for scanning.Oh, so I was closer than I thought: Apple hates #FreeSoftware so much that they won't even acknowledge they *already have* everything they need to scan #Emacs for anything they wantand they petulantly refuse to do it unless the developer kisses the ring and submits to non-free conditions. And then complains *to the end user* that Apple failed. @rossquantum
