Nobody cares what Apple chooses to do with their legal team.  OpenBSD 
does NOT have a couple billion USD in the bank, so they can't afford to 
expose themselves in ANY way, not to mention they can't afford their 
own legal team anyways.

This has been discussed ad nauseum on the OpenBSD lists.  There's a 
reason why the project is called OPEN.  Stop wasting everyone's time 
and read the archives.
