   Then I'm confused by Richard's claim that GNU cannot implement a
   desktop interface because of Apple's litigation.

The point is you can't find out if your software is legal until after
you've written it.  Further, if you don't time things right, you are
locked out of making incremental improvements taking advatage of the
features of new platforms.

Also, unless you're real careful about the legal aspects of your
thinking, it's rather difficult to even *define* what a desktop
interface is, let alone implement it.  (Apple claimed that Microsoft
copied the "total concept and feel ..."  This has been narrowed down
to about 50 specific points now.)

Now if only Apple would try and retroactively sue the project MAC
people... that would be amusing.
