   Well, it's all very well to flame lawyers and even slippery-brained
developers who  borrow freely (insert your own philosophy here). But
few of either of these species do this unless someone pays them for it.

  Does anyone recall whether Apple filed this suit before or after Jobs
left Apple ? If you look into the history of this conflict and the
agreement between Microsoft and Apple that covered Windows version 1.x
and Apple claims does *not* cover the changes in 2.x and later versions,
you may find that there is also a major component of ego, of which the
(then) protagonists (Jobs and Gates) are both well known to have a healthy
supply.
