MacinTalk is, like many first hour Apple programs, a third pardy
product. Although a source code license and a maintenance contract had
been proposed by the contracting firm, Apple finally decided against
it because the two parties couldn't agree on the price. Apple does
not, as far as I know of, plan to change its mind, nor does the
creator of MacinTalk. I agree this is sad, especially because 
the contract broke up before the other planned language interfaces
(french, spanish, german and italian) were implemented, making that great
tool unuseable in almost all nonamerican countries.
