Why should owners & users of Apple equipment be punished because Apple is
litigious?  GNU software is good.  FSF refuses to support ports to the
A/UX version of Unix.  Users of A/UX have ported GNU software to A/UX,
and Apple provides the results of those ports to other A/UX users.

In this case, it looks like FSF is hoarding its own software by refusing to
supply it to A/UX users, whereas Apple is making GNU software freely
available!  Interesting twist...
