Taken out of the context of the discussion of window systems, this was
a misleading statement.  Apple's other legitimate objections were to the
GEM *applications* GEM-Write, GEM-Paint and GEM-Draw, whose looks were
indeed copied identically (well, as well as you could do on an IBM-PC)
from the corresponding Mac applications.
