I hope not.  I read in MicroTimes a while back about a software developer
who was avoiding the Mac because "Apple is not above cloning software".  I
wish I could remember specifics but if Apple has indeed started supporting
a bypass of a perfectly respectable (even if public domain:-)) software
package it does not bode well for Mac software general.
