Do not post links to reverse engineered APIs here.
why not?
First, the Mac OS X Software License Agreement says you may not
disassembly or reverse-engineer (This is list not the place to
debate whether or not this would fall under fair use or not)
Humph... OS X sends me an event on a post card (OK, in an NSEvent),
one it sends to everyone else who has a MacBook Air, and I'm not
allowed to tell people what it says? I agree that this isn't the
place to debate what is and isn't reverse engineering, but the simple
fact is that this isn't.
Second, the discussion of private API is not appropriate to this
list. That includes pointing to other resources. This has been the
policy for a long time now.
That's news. They've been discussed on this list sporadically for a
long time, and this policy is news to me...
Finally, if you have issues with these policies, the list is not the
place to discuss or debate them. Contact the admin address in the
signature.
This list is, however, the place to discuss APIs that are of use and
interest to Cocoa programmers, is it not? Can you suggest a single
other forum in which this information would be more useful or well
targeted?
