After deciding that I didn't like the way Address Book worked, I decided
to try and write my own version.
I know the license agreement says don't reverse engineer Apple software,
but is there any way that I can use a private framework like
AddressServices (by using class-dump etc.) and not get into trouble?
Would it be better if I didn't release the source if I did complete it?
It's just that I assume Apple doesn't want it's competitors reverse
engineering Quartz or whatever, but wouldn't mind too much if someone
wanted to add a little functionality to the OS. If I check the version
of the private framework each time, then there will be no worries about
the app crashing due to future updates - right?
