Safari: What's the big deal??!!

I know this is a little late. But Apple is being a good citizen. Does a good citizen follow the law, yes. Also if Apple were not being a good citizen who would sue them? the KHTML people?!? Even if everyone who worked on HTML ever threw in their entire life savings into a lawyer, they still couldn't beat Apple's lawyers. Apple knows this, so they are being a good citizen by not exercising their wallet.

If they didn't sue them the FSF would, and it would be a very clear cut case if they had violated the GPL. No lawyers could save them from prosecution.
Calum:
and would somebody please tell me the situation as regards apple and the gPL? i think i am a little behind here as i don't understand how they are complying/not complying with GPL restrictions.
flap:
Well they've used GPL code in Safari and released that back to the community as they're supposed to. That's it really.
Pantso:
