Mr. Laski, please ignore this guy. He's on an unimaginably stupid crusade
to clear up a problem that exists only in his mind. He thinks that GNUstep
/clearly/ infringes on Apple copyrights (it doesn't; GNUstep doesn't even
paraphrase, let alone quote, Mac OS X or OpenStep documentation in its own
docs or code), and has further compounded his error by confusing GNU
Objective-C with GNUstep.
I for one am not amused in the slightest, and apologize on behalf of the
GNUstep community for the inanity of the referenced message.
Sorry.
