Subject: Info-mac policies on reverse engineering
From: Mike Schuster <uw-beaver!MIKES@CIT-20>
To: info-mac@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA

As Macintosh debugging environments improve, information on the 'inner
working' of Toolbox will be easier to obtain, via disassembly,
tracing, demons, etc.  On one hand, publication is indespensible to
software designers if the Mac is to live up to its conjectured
potential.  On the other hand, aren't there copyright, patent, and
trade secret issues?  What should Info-mac policy be concerning the
publication of information describing the design and operation of
Toolbox beyond what is widely available in Inside Mac?
