Wow doesn't even begin to describe this Bunsen – "with the permission of Apple" ... Really!? Naw couldn't be. What's in it for Apple? Wouldn't someone have had to ask Steve? I can only imagine his eyes glaze over the instant he hears words like "MacPaint", or "Atkinson", or "history". How would anyone even get his ear to make such a request, much less have it granted?

If the code has been released, it means it can be compiled into working software. Doesn't this mean it is in the public domain, for all practical purposes (aside from commercial sale)? What's next? Could Apple really be softening its position on vintage software, now that it has been rendered utterly moot thanks to OS X and iOS?
