First of all, it ,puzzles me how security firms can identify and publish security flaws in software without informing the main interested party, in this case Apple. Is this not highly reprehensible and irresponsible?

Secondly, I'm not clear how open source software can be tranferred iinto proprietry software with the subsequent alteration to it's licencing status. Open source software remains open source for all time and for all future development, by definition.
