Oh god no. The last thing we need is an Apple that couldn't do anything
without the approval of everyone, and resulted in things like Copland
getting killed.

Steve does some silly things, but he does a lot of smart things too. And
it's not like Apple is any worse about using AppleScript in it's own
products than it was pre-Steve...it's always been Sybil-like.

The GPL is not something we really considered to be a license so much as a
political manifesto, and speaking purely for myself, I prefer to keep my
license agreements and my politics separate. I feel that code which isn't
being used in a situation where it COULD be used is code which isn't
achieving its full potential and the GPL scares a lot of potential users
away, which is simply counter-productive in my opinion. I don't care whether
or not the users give their changes back to me, that's just an added bonus
if it happens and nothing I'd want to try and enforce at the point of a gun.
