Developers speak out against Apple’s Tiger Leak Lawsuit

Drunkenblog has posted a followup about the Tiger leakage and Apple’s response (think, ‘Release the lawyers!’).

DrunkenBlog got reactions from Steve Wozniak, Brent Simmons, Will Shipley, Brian Wilson, Michael Tsai, August Trometer, Evan Schoenberg, John Gruber, Jason Harris, Rory Prior, Adriaan Tijsseling, Allan Odgaard, Christopher Forsythe, Pieter Van den Abeele, Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch, Steven Gehrman, Kristofer Szymanski, Foad Afshari, Paul Kafasis, Timothy Hatcher, Wilfried de Kerchove de Denterghem, Maksim Rogov, Zdzislaw Losvik, Danny Espinoza, and Peter N Lewis.  A veritable who’s who of Mac developers and almost to a man (and they are all men, I think) they start of my saying, ‘While I agree that Apple has a right to protect its intellectual property…’ and end with ‘Apple is going overboard on this one.’

This Apple talking head has to agree. Come on, Apple, lighten up. It was a stupid mistake, but nothing worth ruining some poor college kid’s life over.

What do you think?
