It is an extreme amount of bullshit, yes. But the party responsible for the extreme conditions for using an Apple SDK for the sake of providing software making it more compelling to buy an Apple is Apple. If they don't want software to be compiled for their systems in a reasonable and sustainable manner in connection with Free Software, the party to complain to is Apple. They set the rules. It's not our job sticking out our necks ignoring those rules and making us targets for their legal department. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
