I recently bought a MacOS X Server box with Snow Leopard pre-installed.  At least we will now have first-hand access to the changes that Apple has made, and we can see what it would take to have better integration there -- if we want it.

I was thinking more of a Cease & Desist nastygram from the lawyers, myself.  If they're not shipping plain-jane real-deal 2.1.13 but are misidentifying what they are shipping as this version, then I'm pretty sure that would be construed to be a misrepresentation on their part, and would be actionable in court.

I'm tempted to use the FSF lawyers instead of seeing if we can go through PSF, since the FSF lawyers have recently had some fairly public successes, and they might be more inclined to help try to find all the ways in which we can go after them.

After that, we might think about whether or not we can, or should, go after Apple.  Both companies are shipping our code with extensive modifications, and so far as I know neither of them has released their changes, as required by the GNU license.
