Subject: [bug#65931] [PATCH] gnu: Add apple-bash.

My understanding is that Apple ships old versions of GNU software (or
modified versions thereof) for one reason: because they’re GPLv2+, not
GPLv3+.

Do you know if there are significant technical differences in this
modified Bash that would justify making a package for it?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
