I haven't looked in the APDAlog to verify this stuff, but it sounds incomplete.
You *do* need to license the Apple IIgs or Apple II System Disk if you want
to distribute GS/OS or ProDOS stuff with your product.

For the most accurate information about software licensing, contact the
Software Licensing people at (408) 974-4667 or Apple Computer Inc, 20525
Mariani Ave MS: 38I, Cupertino CA 95014, ATTN: Software Licensing Department.
