However, this -may cause problems with the GPL, so I have removed that restriction. - -Although I cannot prevent you from porting Remind to Windows, I appeal -to you not to do it. I am trying to encourage the growth of free -software, not proprietary software. - -If you port Remind to Windows, I will not provide support or answers to -questions -- you're on your own. On the other hand, I will feel no guilt -in taking enhancements and merging them into the UNIX stream. - -APPLE -===== - -I can't prevent you from using Remind on Apple's products, but I hope -you don't. Apple's corporate culture is the very antithesis of Free -Software. Rather than using Mac OS X, I encourage you to switch to -Linux or FreeBSD, two Free Software operating systems that are every -bit as capable as Mac OS X and which are unencumbered by Apple's -arbitrary restrictions. - -And if you're looking to port Remind to other Apple products like the -iPhone or iPad, please don't. Those products enforce Apple's rigorous -controls much more stringently than Mac OS X on an Apple PC. - --- -Dianne Skoll
