Visto che si parla di Apple ... vi giro questo pezzo di intervista fatta a RMS
http://www.ofb.biz/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=353

    FB: Since the ASPL became a Free Software license a few years
back, in a manner of speaking, Apple has become the largest
distributor of Free Software, in the form of the Darwin OS that is at
the heart of Mac OS X. What are your thoughts on the state of Apple;
are they a good neighbor to the community?

    RMS: Not very. The programs Apple liberated were those that did
the jobs we already had good free software to do--in other words,
those that did not make a significant contribution to the community.
Meanwhile, the programs that would have been a real contribution, they
did not contribute.

    However, the worst thing about Apple is that it has used patents
to prevent free software from handling font hints properly.
