You pay if and only if you want anything besides the software itself. This is _not_ changed from the current policy, at least in the US. The above, so far as I know, is For Real Apple Policy. #2 is strictly IMHO. 2) Since the software will be given out/sold under the same policy as for previous system software, I don't expect anything else to change either -- ie, 7.0 will probably be available on apple.com. Back to facts again: 3) There is no system script language called Applescript in 7.0. There _are_, however, AppleEvents as part of Interapplication Communications. 4) to Greg and Dean and whoever else at Apple's reading this: I'm typing this in between scarfing down lunch; chill out, I'm testing, I'm testing... We now return to your regularly scheduled etc. John Yen jyen@apple.com 7.0 kernel test team
