In a reply to this article Michael I. Bushnell writes: Oh Jesus, now we've got Apple developers trying to sound out the GNU license to see how much they can get away with. This is unbelievable. Landon tells us that he "likes the GNU stuff, just not the politics". Hmmm...not surprising. Gee, what about when GNU clones the MAC interface (as if someone actually wants to DO such a thing!)? Will he STILL "like the GNU stuff"? Or will he suddenly take a liking to politics and sue GNU just like they're suing Microsoft. Alas. I say: I found Landon's article entertaining. I'm sure he was not at all serious and since he put smileys on his article, anyone should have been able to tell that he was just having some fun. I don't see any smileys on your article, and I don't find it particularly funny either. Lighten up dude. 'He' is not Apple and I'm sure he doesn't follow the exact same philosophy that apple does. You equate him to Apple which isn't correct.
