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
