In answer to QUESTION 1. Yes, I have. In my case I wrote a tool for managing
C programming projects. I put all the source in a directory and made my
program the default tool for a project icon attached to the directory.
I think this is a really neat way to package the files needed for a project.
I don't know the answer to QUESTION 2, but if it's not strictly legal, why not
make it so? How about it, oh makers of the law?
