The whole point of my comment was that these [Apple-related] flames that are appearing in HN in the last 3 months or so are a great disgrace for this community, this is motive of the gross exaggeration in my comment, and the motivation of my 1st paragraph. I thought about including a paragraph about how GNU handled the case but I just found that it could contribute to a flame war that I have no interest in participate, I'm not a fan of GNU, I do not want to defend GNU or the FSF.
