Re: Another simple reversing of OS X Foundation and CoreFoundation

[Maxthon Chan]

Given that:

1) Apple did not patent Cocoa and/or their implementation of CoreFoundation, and
2) GNUstep contains no Apple code

We will be good, as Apple have no reason to drag us into trouble. We are not 
infringing any IP at all if that two conditions is met.

Just look at Mono which is a binary-compatible reimplementation of Microsoft 
.net and they did not complain (and even eventually advertising it to some 
extent).
