It is a funny story. This school board needs a healthy dose of creationism fallacies. How about the problem of evil, or the rock that is too heavy for God to lift? How absurd for creationists to consider the fallacies of evolution. Any discussion of creationism demands a discussion of its fallacies. Perhaps absurd thinking is an adaptation that confers some advantage. That would explain its persistence. Time will tell, no?
This is such an outrage, and a betrayal of civil liberties, that there
are sure to be more stories. nyc.indymedia.org was instrumental to our recent anti-war action. It
appears that the Bushies cannot tolerate freedom of the press, and blow
back goes two ways. Please do whatever you can to help Indymedia,
especially at this crucial time. Thank you!
That quote is no longer valid. According to the article, ppc is supported, the Free Darwin action was successfully ended, and GNU-Darwin is supporting Apple users. Moreover, GNU-Darwin is actively developing for the ppc platform, including OS 10.3.
We are developing actively for the ppc platform, including OS 10.3. You should know these things, of all people, so I can only conclude that you are deliberately spreading lies about the Distro. Ahh well, it appears that the good news is drowning out your factitious message.
You have to "have an ID" to "accept" terms of the license? Contributing to this "free" code is the closest you can come to being Apple's indentured servent.
Alternatively, you can bypass the license page by getting it from GNU-Darwin. It is free software after all;-}.
If you don't want a bunch of GTK/GNOME apps, then follow the directions to install just the essential files. After that, additional packages are easy to add fast.
pkg_add -frv fileutils
It is a binary distro, so compilation is not necessary, but if you want to compile, you can try the ports or one of the other distros.
Unfortunately, we are experiencing some temporary intermittent problems with the mirror system right now, so you might have to try later or order discs.
Thank you for all your kind attention to these various matters, which appears to be very well-intentioned.
I am unwilling to compromise the truth of the matter, which is that the Distribution was misrepresented not be me, but by the factitious headline at MacSlash, a simple lie. If it were not for that misreport, this conversation would not be taking place.
It is no surprise that such a sensational headline was picked up by other sites. There are many possible reasons for this, but we clearly live in times when lies are often repeated and amplified by many in the press. It is also no surprise that corporate media outlets did not pick up the story, despite Apple's stock drop;-}. Real damage control means squashing falsehood.
I don't think there is any ambiguity here at all. Just ask yourself what it means to maintain a Unix distro, then you will understand that this means keeping it current for the users. As a distribution-level project, GNU-Darwin must provide updates and new packages from time to time.
The confusion here arises solely from the incorrect headline at the time the story broke. There are no conspiracies or unseen agendas. We are only trying to reach Apple users with software freedom.
On the other hand, if people insist on believing and spreading falsehoods, then they might like to tell people that we don't support PPC. It is just that simple.
Graff, I have had some respect for you until this moment. Your attempt to exploit religious bigotry has revealed your true intention.
Moreover, your post is terribly off-topic, but since you bring it up...
Anyone who is interested in Mutant Space Radical Mormon-Wiccan cooperatives, please feel free to visit Graff's links and drop me a line. Be sure and read the FAQ first.
GNU-Darwin is a means to reach Apple users with software freedom. It is true that the GNU project does not recognize Darwin as free software. GNU-Darwin provides a rational path toward attainment of that freedom.
If this needs any further clarification, just ask or email me privately as you like.

Yes I did receive an email, but it did not include the title of the article. It was the title which was sensational, damaging, and factually incorrect.
The answer is clear to anyone who is willing to take our many accomplisments at face value. It is clear to anyone who is willing to come to the source for their info instead of running to gossips, liars, and fud masters. Check the documentation yourself. This thread is dead.

Give it a break Pudge. You are way over-modded, and you should know better. Maintanence mode means that we will continue to provide updates and support. Despite the bad press and acrimony that we faced as a result of the false report, we have continued to support Apple users, which is consistent with our stated mission.

Look at the date on the patent. There is a massive amount of prior art. This is a silly patent and lawsuit.
