Hackers are not licensing zealots. At least not all of them.

Some of us are more awed by technical prowess than by anything else, and OSX has done some amazing stuff.

Quartz compositing, the migration from IBM to Intel processors using Rosetta, Time Machine, etc.

All of that is great from a technical point of view, and you should at the very least acknowledge it as an inspiration. If you write code, that's it.

However, if you mean the iPod/iPad/iPhone locked stuff, yes, by all means fuck Apple.
