What do you mean by ’proprietary’ in this context? It usually means that the specification and implementation is under control of a single commercial entity that controls them for profit, like Adobe Flash or, to a smaller extent, Oracle Java. I doubt systemd is proprietary in that sense.
In the sense that implementation and specification (where it even exists and has any credible stability) are de-facto controlled by RedHat and are thus changeable at will. Combined with the
Everything is either abandoned or de-facto controlled by somebody.
overarching scope of reimplementing Apple's launchd and large parts of the lower-level userpace stack and the resulting dependencies of higher-level components, the costs of forking or swapping out systemd with alternative implementations become prohibitive for other entities/copetitors with less engineering resources.
This means expensive, not proprietary. IMHO, Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
