Isn't Claris the name of the new company being set up to handle the software
rights for all future Mac releases?  And isn't Claris owned by employees or
management of Apple? (past or present)  If so, doesn't it look like the REAL
reason for this suit is to give Claris a wide-open shot at a new market,
namely all non-Macintosh users interested in a "point and click" interface?

Sounds like Apple is less interested in their own rights, and more interested
in bigger profits (as though they don't make enough on their own vastly
overpriced hardware!)...
