See also the "stolen from Apple" icon hidden in the rom for the first Mac.

Funny how Apple seems to endorse theft when they are doing it, but somehow sees it as wrong if others are taking stuff from them.

Pot calling kettle evidently goes a long way back as far as Apple is concerned.

Direct copying of a computer's firmware is a way different type of "theft" than what you are alluding to.

No, it's really not, unless you are arguing that what was copied from Apple (designs) is not something that should be subject to protection.

Doesn't your conclusion need an example of long way back Apple being a pot?
