    Note, this is $5-$24. Apple could have donated a whopping $5.

        I’m aware, simply from the standpoint that a donation that small probably wouldn’t be considered worth the company’s time. Also Chevron being there is another giveaway.

      From 2020. Not much better, really.

      A screenshot of the FreeBSD Foundation's  donation page showing that apple donated between $250 and $499 for 2020

        Apple offers to match donations from employees so this is a case of an employee making a small donation and Apple matching it rather than Apple explicitly choosing to make a tiny donation itself.

          While that’s a great answer, it’s still extremely disappointing… A million is a rounding error for Apple.

            sure, but a $1m over how many causes? i’d assume they don’t really even use freebsd, considering macos was based in openbsd? so i’d suggest that an employee match is pretty decent

      $250–$499… Good thing there’s 4 and a ½ months to donate more since they made the backbone of their systems.

      I’m sure they will. /s

    It’s definitely not 25$ but it is in the 250$ category, which is still pathetic, granted they’re a 3 trillion dollar company

    If you really wanted them to give back, you could have just used the GPL. 😂 😅

      Then they would have developed their own like windows. I’d call it apple core if it was the late 80s early 90s
