Hi Tim,
I’m not going to engage with personal remarks — they don’t help answer
the original point.
This thread was about a very specific, factual matter:
EtreCheck is not open source today.
The only public code is an old fork from when it was open source.
That code does not prove what the current closed-source version does.
If there’s reliable, independent verification of the current product’s
behaviour, I’d welcome seeing it. That’s the only way cautious Mac users
can make an informed decision.
If you have information on that, I’m listening.
David B.
