Correct. I'm just wondering if Apple would even care if I were to do something like that, since System 7 is so old.

In this case, everyone's right; there's really no legal way of doing this, unless you happen to have a few billion dollars lying around. You'd basically have to stage a hostile takeover and fire everyone before they'd even consider licensing to a third party again.

Can you expand on what it is your application would be doing? Maybe there's a less troublesome way of doing it.
