Please don't use the FSF mailing lists/newsgroups to announce software
for Apple machines.

Distributing or promoting software for Apple machines promotes sales
of those machines, thus showing Apple that aggression against
programmers in general does pay.  For any programmer, or any user
who hopes to be permitted to use a system that is not under Apple's
control, this is self-defeating.  That's why the FSF won't do it.
I hope you, too, will look to the future and not do it.

If you want more info on what Apple is doing to harm programmers,
send mail to league@prep.ai.mit.edu.
