Slimeball companies stop at nothing.  How can you (with a clear conscience)
port GNU software?  If Apple is going to continue with "Sadaam Hussein-like"
lawsuits (I stole it fair and square, therefore it's mine) it has no business
with any FSF product!

May the source be with you!

Death to slimeball software hoarders and their legions of lawyers!

After the revolution, things will be different!
