I apologize for posting an article here which contains no flames
of RMS, Apple, the GPL, or Peter da Silva, but I'm curious.

What ever happened to GNU (GNU's Not Unix), the operating system?
Has FSF given up on it? It was supposedly going to be based on the
Mach kernel with a homegrown filesystem on top of it.

How about a short status report?

Thanks,
Dave Mack
