The boycott that the FSF participates in is directed against the
plaintiffs of look and feel lawsuits.  These are Lotus, Apple, Xerox
and Ashton-Tate.  Those other than Apple are mentioned less often on
GNU mailing lists because they don't make computer systems to which
GNU software might be ported.

I wouldn't give any of them free consulting.  It was just chance that
the recent request came from Apple and not one of the others.

Some other people ask, why not boycott Unisys or other software patent
holders.  The reason is that there are too many of them to boycott,
even though some of them surely deserve it.  I've spoken about this
before, so in the interest of brevity I won't go into detail.
