To Open or not to Open
D-trace from what i understand is a program that allows people to look at the code that makes up different programs. Apple has made this program available on its new OS but it still does not allow it to access the code of such programs as Itunes. They suspect that this is because of the fact that ITunes does not want users to see how they implement the "fair-play" software that ensures Digital Rights management programming on their software. If apple has allowed this software to be used on macs then it has opened the door to open source programs quite a bit. I agree with the article that apple should open up Itunes and allow D-trace to be fully realized
