	The paper folder that comes tucked into the ETO-8 disk (the
latest-minus-one ETO shipped, but the latest one I've got here) has the same
warning about reverse engineering, being a trade secret, etc.  They also
state the "you may not [...] create derivative works based upon the Software
in whole or in part".  If writing an application based on MacAPP isn't a
derivitive work, I'd like to know what is.
