- I would tend to agree. I will go out on internet and see if I can search

- may be able to find someone who has already done this. :)

- As I understand the project, ARDI wanted this package to be legit, if
- they were to dissassemble, reverse engineer (or do just about anything to
- the ROMs), Apple would be right on their ass for copyright infringement.
- It would be nice if the ROMs were *legal* to reproduce (through software
- or other methods) by anyone that wanted to, BUT as I understand it, this
- is not the case.
