@cjwl We're on it and definitely want to make this right. As a bit of background, (some of) our source code was originally C++ based (marked up to act like Objective-C). We then ran that source through a tool to generate "real" Objective-C code.
In any case, we're going through Foundation right now and will absolutely make this right.
They seem pretty serious about me, and honestly, their acknowledged mistake is pretty understandable. They also have loads of money that people could sue them for, so I'm sure they don't want to risk themselves either.
