There is an article in the 10/1 issue of the San Jose Mecury News with the
announcement that DRI has agreed to (effective 11/15) stop supporting the
current version of GEM and to ship a modified version to avoid charges of
copyright violations of Apple's software. Apple has claimed that GEM copied
"The look and feel" or its Macintosh software and violated Apple's
copyright. GEM uses, among other things, windowns, drop-down menus, and
icons that substantially resemble the Mac.
