Re: Steven P. Jobs 1955-2011: Here's to the crazy one who inspired us all...

[David Chisnall]

Reading that made me feel faintly ashamed that I contribute to a GNU project.  
Especially given that, looking at my GNUstep development system, I see more 
lines of Free Software written by people @apple.com than by people @gnu.org.  

Fortunately, his attitude doesn't seem to be prevalent in the GNUstep 
community.  Having a competitor like NeXT and later Apple forced the Free 
Software community to set high standards for itself.  Imagine how bad life 
would be if we were only trying to build something better than Windows...
