Which is hardly to demonstrate that it would be impossible or difficult
to put the Mac look and feel up under some other windowing system.
It's just that, if you do, Apple's lawyers will be on your doorstep.
Which has nothing to do with the superiority of A/UX or the Mac OS.

It is hardly valid to say that system ABC can do something no other
system can do, when the reason is that you'll sue anybody else who
builds a system that can do what ABC does.
