Interesting question. I'm not sure whether NYU per se will do the Mac
port, but there will undoubtedly be a port, if for no other reason than
there are so many Macs in education. There is a gcc for the Mac.
Stallman must be in a bit of a quandary: the FSF side of him wants to
see dispersion of free software as widely as possible; the LPF side of
him wants to boycott Apple.
