   Richard Stallman: this is your latest public call for information

   Desist from these public calls requesting information hoarding or
   accept the label of Hypocrite.

Hmmm.  I suppose you would advocate selling (or giving?) arms to
Saddam Hussein?

Stallman is not calling for information hoarding.  All the information
is already out there and available to Apple people and whoever else
wants it.  (Apple employees can anonymously ftp GNU software as easily
as anyone else.)  Stallman is asking that we not aid Apple in its
endeavor to crush information sharing.  This includes not going out of
our way to provide advice to Apple employees.  There is a big
difference between providing information and providing services.  The
FSF provides information to all and services to those who are friendly
to its goals.
