Here's your quote again from when you were defending free software for the Chicomms:

No, that was reminding you of your contradictory views.

previously trying to claim OSX is "free software", but now somehow be outraged that someone would dare copy any of it.

Now I see the tenuous logic you used to try a hijack. Even according to the post you quoted, I never claimed OS X is free software. I said it uses free software (most of the server utilities) and runs on a free software base (BSD). Are you going to claim that's a lie now? Anyway, it's actually the proprietary part, the GUI and libraries that sit on top of BSD, that Microsoft is trying to copy.

Although Microsoft finally copied something that's been in free and proprietary UNIX for years -- symbolic file links. It's about time.

You've had no problem with Russian hackers copying that part, endlessly defending them with lies they claiming they couldn't possibly be criminal, that Apple's letter threatening criminal prosecution was quote "BS", that Russian hackers wrote software extensively used by the DoD, stuff you even admit were lies made up out of the blue to defend them. Now you're claiming outrage someone else may have copied it LOL.
