   The fight for the freedom to program has not escalated to the level of
   killing.  Apple is not trying to shoot programmers who write
   compatible software, and we are not trying to shoot the employees of
   Apple.

   However, they are trying to arrange to send men with guns (police) to
   stop us from writing compatible software.  They probably will try to
   avoid shooting, but they may well imprison some of us for years if we
   refuse to stop.

   The difference between this and China is a matter of degree.  The
   spirit is the same.

Hmm.  I used to think FSF people were sane....
