The thing that makes Apple different is their "software look and feel"
lawsuit. That sort of thing, if upheld, could make the distribution of
free software a crime. Then under RICO an organization like FSF could
be crushed very quickly as an organized-crime-foundation.

I think it is funny that people at Apple are actually upset about the FSF
position on this.
