Any idea why they would ship such an old version?

  I've noticed other projects stopped shipping when GPLv2 became GPLv3 Also, I noticed they've been technically in violation of the GPL for years with bash - they never shipped source for rootless.h/etc

  Nope. An acquaintance had a theory, though. They presumed that Apple was doing two years of regression testing on Ventura, so maybe they grabbed the latest version at the time, tested stuff for two years and shipped the version they tested. If so, I don't blame them. Most protects are not run like mine, so they need to test for the lowest common denominator and assume that later versions will have new bugs.

    They're vendoring in each of those projects, though; they could just read the commits.

      If people could read commits and know what something is going to do, then all code would be bug-free.
