Re: Telescope?
Greedy bastards indeed... Aperture. macOS Server. Airports.
None of these things can cost a tremendous amount, in real terms, to maintain - and yet provided genuinely integrated capabilities that had been engineered to jive well... Aperture and macOS Server could have been dropped into the public domain and turned feral, who knows, maybe the community would have ignored 'em, but at least someone would have had the chance.
