Excuse me, Jordan, but wasn't Edit part of the package the rights of which
were reverted to Consulair Corp. (Bill Duvall, et al)?  I agree that it is
not PD or freely distributable, but I don't think that it is an Apple
product any longer and after checking the signature resources, it looks like
the copyright has been W.S. Duvall, Consulair Corp. at least through the
version 2.x stuff.
