   Recently I got really tired of hacking around Apple's list manager with LDEF's
   and clikLoops and such so I took to re-writing my own version of it.

   I really would like to release it totally free but I don't want
   apple all over my ass for doing it.  I want to release the source
   along with it too.  Which I have the feeling might be a big no-no.

Release the code and forget what Apple thinks.

They have no claim over your "original" work in any way shape or form.
Further, if they wish to persue copyright, patent, or "look-and-feel"
infringement, you have to have something worth coming after. Free
software does not generate much revenue to sue for.

And people wonder why the FSF bitches about Apple.
