Since I was also thinking about using some of Apple's icons in my
program
(basically the standard icons for the preferences panel, like
"General",
"Advanced", "Software update", "Colors", etc), I did contact Apple
about it at
<email@hidden> as instructed on
<http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html>.
This was one week ago and I haven't received a reply yet. Should I
interpret
this as meaning that Apple doesn't mind third-party developers
making use of
their icons in a reasonable way in order to present a coherent user
interface
but were told (for some reason that escapes the understanding of
common mortals
like me) by their lawyers not to openly say so? Regards,
No reply is certainly not the same as implicit acceptance :)
Until you hear otherwise, you can't really make any sort of
assumption like that.
Realistically, will you get sued? Smart money says no. But that's
another assumption that might come back to bite you :)
