Frankly, I am not overly interested in tap-dancing around the rules
Apple makes in order to keep its users from benefitting from software
freedom. When the rules Apple makes prohibit us from providing LilyPond
on MacOSX in a useful and reasonably sustainable manner, the conclusion
is "don't buy a Mac if you want to use LilyPond". When Apple demands
that we buy into Apple hardware for providing LilyPond or else, I
consider it reasonable to choose "else".
Apple defines the limits of the usefulness of its computers as a
platform using legal means. We are not doing its users a favor by
pretending this to be different.
There might be some way using just a Darwin SDK. But it's well possible
that we'll just have to cease providing cross-compiled versions for
MacOSX ourselves and leave the job of creating non-official MaxOSX
versions from our comparatively generic sources to separate projects
involved with the Mac.
