I think your question would be better asked on the discuss or
devel mailing lists.

As I understand it, GNUstep will be Cocoa-compatible
where someone contributes the changes and it
doesn't break OpenStep compatibility. See also
"How about porting between Cocoa and GNUstep?" on
http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/GNUstep/faq_1.html#SEC4
and "Additions to OpenStep" on
http://www.gnustep.org/information/aboutGNUstep.html

I think you should say "a free software alternative". Open source
is too ambiguous. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/writing/ambigopen.html
