Message-ID: Date: 5 Dec 90 06:02:46 GMT References: <46962@apple.Apple.COM> Sender: news@mimsy.umd.edu Organization: University of Maryland Computer Science Lines: 21 In-reply-to: shebs@Apple.COM's message of 29 Nov 90 23:01:19 GMT This seems like a terrible shame. I love my mac, and would very much like to have all of my favorite gnu (unix version) utilities. But, I think most of us (and especially apple folk) know the Gnu "boycott apple" position. Are we taking advantage of the Free Software Foundation? I think YES:-( FSF promotes open systems, apple doesn't (I know I've paid my R&D overhead to get the proprietary mac os). It bothers me to see FSF software on apple.com. It's like beating Ghandi with his own stick because you can.
