ACMFIU asks unknown about why he supports his GS after getting riled
up about Nintendo. ACMFIU suggests that Apple simply license their
stuff instead of suing the world.
What I'm about to say is MY OPINION ONLY and will attempt to stick
with the facts:
Microsoft *did* license technology from Apple in order to write
Windows. It is Apple's claim that version 2.0.3 and later versions of
Windows violates the license. That is why Apple is suing. It's a
different matter entirely. Apple isn't suing because it's fun - Apple
is suing because they believe that legal agreements have been broken.
Now whether or not agreements have been broken is another issue.
Whether or not Apple has the right to claim ownership is another
issue. I will stay out of the argument of Apple's claim to ownership
for obvious reasons.
If you don't like a company claiming ownership for what it develops
then you'd better stop buying software altogether. Write your own and
don't get any ideas from existing software or someone will sue *you*
(unless, of course, you license).

I believe it's a reference to Dave Whitney's .sig, which has a line from "Rap Isn't Music" (which, I've never heard of, BTW). >---------------------------------------- > BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here > pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com -- David Huang | Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | "How much is that hamster UUCP: ..!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | in the window?"
