I've asked the same thing in this group: why should USERS of Apple
computers be PUNISHED because Apple is litigious?  I received a few
mild e-mail responses.  FSF's position remains unchanged.

I have to say, I am infuriated when I see some naive A/UX user posting
a question in a gnu newsgroup, only to have Richard Stallman post a
response that requests that anybody who knows the answer withhold, or
hoard this information from the poor user.  What gall!  What
hypocrisy!
