My point was, permission from whom? Steve Jobs? Apple is a big company. My
guess is that anyone with the authority to give permission isn't going to
return the calls of some crank asking for permission to use ancient code.
Like it's worth his time.

You mean :
"They, that is the chef of European Licensing and his counterpart in
Cupertino, have also told us that it's ok with them and they do not object."

So it was the cook  instead of the janitor?  ;) That's not a "who" in my
book.  Let's see the name (s).   And  if he has permission, why not post the
code on his site? Actions speak louder than vogon words.
