In this month's GNU's Bulletin, an atricle indicated the League of Programming Freedom (LPF) has dropped its boycott of Apple. The Free Software Foundation (FSF), which was backing the LPF, has also announced it will no longer boycott Apple. This means "the FSF will now treat Apple operating systems like other non-free operating systems." This is, of course, welcome news by all. For the Ada community, however, it speaks volumes. -- Frustrated with C, C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
