Well, the Commodore 64 has the same BASIC as the Apple II does, just 
minus the graphics commands.  It's located at a different memory 
address, but if you know the Applesoft internals, you'll have no trouble 
finding them on the 64.

So, someone must have either ignored the legality of the BASIC ROM or 
obtained permission to use it.
