What did Mr. Teunissen tell you? Where here 
(http://musickit.sourceforge.net/license.html) do you read something 
about a NeXT and Apple copyright?

I think to demand that all software that should be used with GNUstep 
_must_ have the copyright assigned to RMS is a little over the top. BTW 
german law explicitly forbids the assignment of the copyright to 
somebody else.
