The GNU project does not support the Macintosh, either as a host or as a target, because Apple's look-and-feel lawsuit threatens the freedom we need in order to go on developing a variety of useful software. (Many of you may have heard that Apple asked the judge to rule for the other side, and he did. This is true, but it doesn't mean Apple has lost or given up. It means that Apple wanted to go straight to the next stage--the appeals court. Until the appeals court issues a decision, we know absolutely nothing about the final outcome of this case.) If you want to go into the software field (as it seems likely you do), then your freedom is threatened by Apple also. Doing business with Apple is, in effect, rewarding them for attacking people like yourself; that is a self-defeating and not wise. The danger of interface copyright exists in the EC as well as in the US. If you are concerned about your freedom as a programmer, contact the League for Programming Freedom to get more information. Write to lpf@uunet.uu.net.
