I don't see that implication at all.

...I would be quite interested in having a list of their Web services that they don't deem to be 'key', however.

That was exactly their implication. "We don't go for that open source crap" is a motto of theirs. Usually it's just obnoxious. This time, they just happened to blindly fall on the right side of the line.

Er, you realise that Apple's own OpenSSL substitute is open source? And that they both use and release lots of open source software?

Are you thinking of Microsoft circa 2000, or something?
