also they were technically in violation of the GPL with bash. They made some modifications and did not release them all. (try to compile bash without rootless.h)

Presumably, they are on https://opensource.apple.com/source/bash/bash-118.40.2/ although sources for the latest macOS are usually not released in a timely manner (no Big Sur at the moment, for instance)

rootless.h has never been made available to the public as far as I know.

I just found that the new dump of sources for 11.0.1 has a version of bash that doesn't #include <rootless.h>

that's odd... what does Apple have to win out of a GPL violation for this?

Nobody has forced them to release it, so until then they get to keep some magic to themselves, presumably.
