It's just like MacOS isn't Unix. It's more like System 6 with a Unix kernel underneath. Even if you think it's all only OpenStep now, it's still Openstep, not Unix.
Apple used to ship a UNIX distribution that was like that called A/UX. System 6 UI, UNIX underneath.
Sure, but what most car users will care about is that there is an engine, not exactly which engine it is or how it's constructed. Some car users might even not know that there is an engine in the car.
I think that this car analogy isn't really that good. More people probably know the basics of how an engine works and why it's needed, than the people that know what an operating system kernel is. Also, some people will buy a car depending on which engine it has but few will buy a phone or tablet based on the kernel.
Gtkmm is horrid. It makes me want to go back to using MFC instead, it's truly that bad. Once you've started using Qt, you can't seriously go back to a toolkit like Gtkmm.
What's so bad about it? You give very few arguments for your case.

GTK+ is available for C++, it's called Gtkmm. By using C for the core framework adding additional language bindings is often very easy since almost everything can interface with C.
Well you can just use any of the many language bindings. Gtkmm for C++ for example, or Vala which a lot of new Gnome development uses. Vala translates to C, so there's nothing extra needed at runtime.
Nothing wrong with C, but you don't really need to limit your self to it just because the code is running on the GPU. Have a look at C++ AMP for example.
Because they use different licenses. OpenOffice uses the Apache license, LibreOffice mostly GPL. Merging them is not feasible since either of them would have to give up something they don't want to in return.
You have permission as long as you follow the terms stipulated in the GPL. But it's true that Apple doesn't have to care about that, they can kick your app out for any other reason if they want to.

The problem is that if someone actually manage do to this I belive Canonical is still responsible since they made the hardware.
Nine months. That's way more than the standard 14 days. Then there's no excuse. Present.
And you are suggesting that telling them to fuck off does not?

It has been part of the official release for some time now.

The Android open source project is free software, but no one really knows about the binary blobs the device makers and carriers ship to you.
Very few actually run Android, most run some of its forks.
Android is not Linux. Linux is a kernel not the OS.
That's why some say GNU/Linux.
Tha'ts pretty much what has happened everywhere else too. That doesn't make it right of course, but it's hardly a problem that is centric to America.
And now both both Motif and CDE is LGPL.
Don't forget Motif, which just became free software under LGPL.
I would prefer to have one conference for both projects, and hopefully bring them together again.
And if screws is not your thing, then you can have Apple change it for you.

It's true that it's not C, but the way it's designed make it look like C.
That, is true.

Because they use different licenses. OpenOffice uses the Apache license, LibreOffice mostly GPL. Merging them is not feasible since either of them would have to give up something they don't want to in return.
Sure they do. All they need to do is port Office to all viable mobile platforms and then they are set.
Probably true. It would probably sell better if all they did was put XP on it and call it a day.
You think it would have gone better if it was?
iOS apps have to ask for permissions.
