A year ago most people would have said there were no legal problems with
you providing a link to the software - as long as the software was on
Apple's site and not yours. Recently there have been some cases brought
against persons for such "deep-linking" of others material. I'm not a
lawyer and I don't play one on Tv and I don't have the links handy. I
seem to recall hearing it on TechTV's Silicon Spin tho'
