Re: it's not enough

They can always build it themselves (using their own compilers) and distribute their own binaries. Making sure licenses are paid for, of course.

But they'll have to go through that whole process every time Apple releases a patch or an upgrade.

Come to think of it: in principle they should go through the whole source review process every time Apple releases a patch or upgrade anyway.
