Oh, from the comments here I got the impression that it was open source. If it was not open source to start with why are people saying that amazing tech is lost? It was never available(in the knowledge sense not as a product) in the first place was it?
The full source wasn't available, but at least the product was available to the market. With Apple buying it up and taking down the source repos and the full product download page, the tech is lost to anyone outside of Apple.
