Here's a question for licensing: what's the status on redistribution of that
CDEF? I understand the Comm Toolbox as a whole can't be sent out with
prodcut willy-nilly, and I don't think anyone will want to bother until
System 7. In the meantime, is there a a legal way to redistribute the
"official" CDEF with a third-party product?
