It's not that hard to find.
Apple's top-secret iBoot firmware source code spills onto GitHub for some insane reason
The confidential source code to Apple's iBoot firmware in iPhones, iPads and other iOS devices has leaked into a public GitHub repo. The closed-source code is top-secret, proprietary, copyright Apple, and yet has been quietly doing the rounds between security researchers and device jailbreakers on Reddit for four or so months …

Oh Boltar, life is full of depressing things all around us so sometimes it's nice to do something silly that even if only a few see the funny side then it's worth it. If people didn't do that we would live in a world devoid of humour. and humour is one of the best escapes from the drudgery that can be life.

I thought it was a link to some code but it was a naff 80s pop song instead! Ha ha ha! Hilarious!! OMG is there a doctor in the house, my sides have split!!!
It was amusing for about 5 minutes the first time around 10 years ago, but hey, if thats your level of humour then good on you. You probably also enjoy Mrs Browns Boys and piss yourself laughing at crazy frog videos too, However some of us have more sophisticated tastes. HTH.

So your more of a high brow humour man, eh?
How about this?
A programmers wife tells him: "Run to the store and pick up a loaf of bread. If they have eggs, get a dozen." The programmer comes home with 12 loaves of bread.
or we could go for this?
Did you hear about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
Lighten up please, I also can't stand Mrs Browns Boys or crazy frog.

And, it is currently the only antidote to Herr Lügenführer Trump.

Re: My device - I'll jail break it if I want to ...
@Lost all faith
I'm kinda interest why you think that should be the case. A store by its definition is there to sell things. Mostly third party programs. If Apple said you cant buy official Apple things after jailbreaking, thats fine thats a company decision. But saying you cant buy a third party's products because you did something they dont like seems unwarranted and excessive.
Not an apple user but just curious...

Re: My device - I'll jail break it if I want to ...
Um; no.
Apple’s AppStore - Apple’s rules.
Nothing to stop you (or anyone else) writing Apple Hardware based Apps and offering them for sale/giveaway. Just Apple won’t let you do it through their Apple AppStore
Of course you may have non disclosure issues if you write for the real Apple AppStore; so you may have to make a decision to either play in APPLE’s AppStore under their T&C - or play in some one else’s AppStore. You may have problems getting any ‘Footfall’ though & you may find no one wants to play in your AppStore - especially if you can not/will not warrant your apps as malicious code free
Your device - jail break it; run it over; feed it to a great white shark - whatever floats your boat. But don’t claim Apple stops you - or prevents you from downloading any old piece of dodgy code if you leave their rather safer walled garden. You just won’t be allowed to use APPLE utilities/web sites/AppStores to do so. But then that is the point you appear to be missing - Apple OWN the infrastructure; you can play - or not - if you want to. See what happens if you get any piece of equipment modified by no approved ‘fixers’ if you then complain to the OEM that it is bust

Re: My device - I'll jail break it if I want to ...
Your right, we dont need fair use rules, let the corps make up what ever rules they like as long as they get rich, we consumers dont matter.
We all have the the right to stop using the Internet if we dont want to be guided by megacorp round their walled garden.
Apple got away with loads of stuff by being niche provider for those willing to pay the idiot-tax. Not sure that applies any more.
