What everybody is forgetting in this debate about apple is that they
"stole" the software from Xerox-Parc initially, and have even admitted
to doing so in public (using that word).

I don't like lawyers, and I don't like apple suing over "look and feel" they
"stole" in the first place.

I don't support RMS's politics in general as I am a capitalist, but I agree
with him on the point Apple is behaving in rotten fashion.
