GEnie, America Online, and probably a few other such services, are
ALREADY licensed to distribute the CTB.  They've paid Apple a set
annual fee for the privilege of letting people download it.

The question on your minds... why then can't CTB be posted to
USENET?  Well, Apple's software licensing requires that the distributors
be able to provide information on who has downloaded the software.  The
USENET distribution methods don't offer that kind of auditing abilities.
