(1) Interfere with people who need tech support.
(2) Piss off Apple customers and turn them away from F/OSS.
(3) Absolutely no change in Apple policy.
I'm glad to use F/OSS on my Mac, including a great deal of software produced under the FSF umbrella, and I have released software, developed on the Mac, under the GPL. The success of OS X has created a huge new market for those who develop on Unix-type systems. Braindead stunts like this really don't help.
Waste the time of large numbers of people who have nothing to do with making decisions for Apple, and also the time of those people who actually need help with their Apple equipment.
That'll win hearts and minds for sure.
You call this activism? I call it harrasment, immoral, and unethical. I call it rude and stupid.
I like the way you have a double standard for DoS. It is OK in meatspace but wrong in cyberspace.
Maybe Apple should send out an email or just post on their website how the FSF decided to hurt Apple's customers and ask that people not support the FSF in any way.
