Hello all,
Cocoa is based on an open standard named OPENSTEP, and GNUStep has reimplemented this specification, this is clearly legal. Are other framework or API's from Apple also candidate for inclusion in GNUstep. For instance is it legally possible to rewrite a Searchkit or maybe CoreImage API for GNUstep ?
Generally my question is : are other API than Cocoa legally clonable for gnustep, or are we tied to ever only have cocoa compatibility.
It would be legal, but it's outside the scope of the GNUstep project, and hence will probably never be done. GNUstep doesn't exist to reimplement every whizbang Apple API. Read the mission objectives at http://www.gnustep.org/information/mission.html for a more detailed explanation.
