The myth of separation

Shape of Days on Apple's cross-platform code toolkit, Core Foundation Lite:

Unlike similar foundation libraries from Microsoft, CF Lite is available for free. Unlike similar toolkits of Linux, you don't have to sell your soul to Richard Stallman to use it. So it seems like win-win to me.

Ah, bringing up Richard Stallman. That's always a good way to start a debate! I have mixed feelings about him: whereas I agree completely with him on the issue of software patents, I think his views concerning proprietary software are quite extreme and wrong.
