Re: Pending Litigation

[Yen-Ju Chen]

(L)GPL is challenged by SCO, and if FSF own GNUstep,
FSF must study the legel issue already.
If that's the case, GNUstep don't need to worry about the law suit filed by 
John Anderson.
> From my personal view, it is nice to have a protection from the court
that GNUstep is not violate Apple's copyright, IP, or whatever.
Otherwise, I think this question will be asked once for a while.
The freedom of using GNUstep should not base on "not waking the sleep dog".

That's my peronal opinion.

PS. If he really files the lawsuit, I guess GNUstep will get a lot of 
publicity. :D
