Revotron writes "Apple has released the full source to their Apple
Lossless Audio Codec under the Apache license. ALAC was developed by
Apple and deployed on all of its platforms and devices over the last
10 years. Could the release of the ALAC source code mark a possible
first step in opening up more of the iOS platform?"
