GNU-Darwin Dropping PPC, Cocoa Support

The MacSlash story I posted earlier has turned into, shall we say, a ‘spirited’ discussion. Slashdot picked it up later and the arguments continue:

The following information has been posted on the GNU-Darwin SourceForge page and has been confirmed via email with proclus, project lead.

GNU-Darwin will no longer ‘support or distribute any software which links to proprietary libraries, and that includes Cocoa, Carbon, CoreAudio, etc.’ They will also be putting PPC collections into ‘maintenance mode’ and moving all operations to x86.
