  I doubt this one will ever be resolved as different people have a
different view as to what Apple is, and has been doing.  I for one very

  Has it?  I don't see that it has.  If I read things correctly, they
'got off' because they had actually licenced the things that they were
accused of 'pirating' from Apple.  The very fact that there is
licencing involved in these issues is destructive, and I've yet to
see Apple announcing free access to the use of user interface ideas
that they claim a patent on.

No, it hasn't.  Apple has appealed the decision.  They could win as
surely in appeal as if they had won the first time.  Even if Apple
loses they may sue on the basis in whatever other look and feel they
feel they own.  The Newton technology for example.  The LPF wants Apple
to renounce look and feel copyrights not merely lose a lawsuit.

>November LPF posting, it mentioned that an IBM executive chaired the

So far as I know, neither IBM nor Apple has sued anyone on algorithm
patents.  Apple may not own any algorithm patents at all.  IBM does own
one of the LZW patents (there are two, Unisys has the other).  I feel

I feel Apple IS the nasiest of all the look and feel companies.  They
sell at least three different operating systems, applications and are
also a big hardware company.  Although there are companies that are
merely in business to hold patents and sue,  Apple has enough income
from other sources to sue for the long term.  Apple doesn't use its
copyright to make money, rather it's used to make itself a monopoly,
which is much worse.  Apple's only licensee of its purported
intellectual property has been under suit for some years now.

Apple doesn't just want credit for inventing the user interface they
didn't develop, they also want to be the only company selling it.

>When the LPF treats all companies reasonably fairly, then I will be

Not just algorithm patents, the LPF is also against look and feel
patents.  Apple is the most powerful and egregarious user of look and
feel copyright.  Lotus Development is perhaps the next in line.
The LPF has picketed Lotus offices.

I've been trying to get Oleo 1.0 to compile on a NeXTSTEP 3.0 machine and it  
seems that the Makefile being made by configure is incorrect.  For some reason,  
the bison step before the first C compile is never being done and the makefile  
is trying to make /usr/include/ctype.h!  The first few errors after typing make  
are these:

% make
bison -y parse.y
mv y.tab.c parse.tab.c
cc -O -c -g  -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_UALARM=1 -DHAVE_SETITIMER=1 -DHAVE_RINT=1  
-DHAVE_RENAME=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1  parse.tab.c
parse.y:296: illegal expression, found `__extension__'
parse.y:296: illegal expression, found `__extension__'

parse.y:296: illegal external declaration, found `)'
parse.y:296: illegal external declaration, found `if'
parse.y:296: illegal method selector, found `0'

I am using GNU make 3.62 and the NeXT gcc C compiler.  I just did a 'configure'  
then a 'make' and this happened.  There were a ton of errors that looked like  
the above, but I don't know why.

Any help would be great.  Thanks.

OK, I understand this tactic.  

However, it appears that the legal standing for Apple's suits is dubious,
and recent decisions do not seem to be going its way.

I can't see any way that algorithm patents will fail to be upheld by any
court, as the laws are now being written explicitly allow and encourage
that which we think to be exceedingly harmful.

In some sense the two are similar---Apple wants to essentially ban
independent re-invention which really isn't 'copying', but will lose because
that's not what copyright does.  It is in fact, exactly what patents do, and
the courts couldn't help but rule for Apple if they had acquired software
patents.

It is true, if Apple's suit managed to set a precedent that enabled a
copyright holder to obtain, in effect, patent protection, that this would
be disasterous.  

However, because judges usually aren't that dumb, I think Apple is probably
going to lose.  

Apple may have alot of money for lawyers, but compared to the Department
of Commerce, Department of State (GATT & international treaty) and
the U.S. Congress they're nothing.


Perhaps the LPF is also afraid of losing, too, as the Apple boycott
will likely be successful in the sense of having Apple's position
repudiated, but the war against software patents is going badly
and quite conceivably will be lost.

The emphasis on Apple makes other forces think they're OK when they're not.

The AT&T "brain contamination" idea is also rather pernicious but ridiculous
enough to not likely pose a problem.

To argue against explicit Federal law against algorithm patents will
be awfully difficult, and the LPF needs to be preparing its Constitutional
arguments for when that fateful day arives.

Not only would LPF lose support, LPF would need a new place to post

You don't have a right to expect anything.  Ask all you want, but if you

The version number is set in Makefile.in's VERSION= line.  I don't
recommend calling it 4.7.1 though; call it 4.7+patch or something.
We use numbers like 4.7.1 for internal development versions that are made

I've had some problems compiling gdb-4.7 for our Pyramid 90x, I'm not
exactly sure about how the configuring is supposed to work, but I've
tried 'configure pyramid' and 'configure pyramid-unknown-bsd' and both
seems to do the same thing. First of all I got some warnings about bfd &
opcodes not supporting pyramid. But I thought that they might not be
needed so I edited the Makefile in the gdb dir to use 'CC=gdb -traditional'
and then I tried to compile there....
  That's when the real problems popped up. In all the pyramid-specific
files there was errors, mostly relating to include-files in the wrong place
and non-declared external variables. Is this due to the release or our
configuration? If it's the release then it would be nice to have it fixed.

(sorry to post to gnu.misc.discuss, but this follows up a message I
posted there earlier.)  I have found out some stuff since my last
message.  It seems that the problem was with the loader I am using.
When I compile with the profiling flag (-pg) I get the message that
it can't find libc_p.a, because this file happens not to be installed
on our system.  When I provide a libc_p.a I get the message

  ld: _DYNAMIC bootstrapping not available: use -Bstatic.
  collect: /usr/bin/ld returned 4 exit status

If I install gnu ld instead of collect2 I can get a working
program, but it has the gdb "next" problem I described in
my previous message.  Loading with -static causes it to list
a bunch of assembler symbols as unresolved.

I will see if using gnu libc helps.

Yes, in gdb-4.* there is not yet support for Pyramid 90x. There has some
effort been made (not by me), and post-mortem cross-debugging seems to work.
But running gdb-4* on a 90x fails, the biggest problem is, once again, the
difficulties with gcc and varargs. I myself still use an enhanced version
of gdb-3.6 on our Pyramid clone. (Look on ftp.tu-bs.de:pub/gnu/*{gdb,pyr}*)
