I didn't see your other posts, welcome aboard!

Anything coming out of Apple equipment in the the way of firmware is a good bet for a copyright notice, but the bootdriver on a HDD controller just might not have a copyright.

So I don't know offhand, it could, conceivably, be a legitimate request. Why don't we amend your question to be an inquiry as to the existence of copyright notification within, or on, the ROM in question for now? I'm leaning hard on the copyrighted side of the bet, but it's an interesting question for now.

Is there a copyright sticker on the ROM in Question?

The first HDD pulled randomly from the IDE box:

QuantumProDriveLPS 250MB AT - Apple Logo - Firmware Copyright 1994 - printed on large sticker

SCSI Drive from 7600:

Quantum FireBall TM 1.2GB - Apple Logo - NO FIRMWARE COPYRIGHT NOTICE! [:O] ]'>

Question remains interesting! [;)] ]'>
