As of today, I'm using in one of my project 2 files from
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IntlPreferences.framework.
Namely the Resources: EnglishToISO.strings and Language.strings
I'm loading these 2 files which are installed by the OS so it's not
part of the source code.
Now, if, for instance, these 2 files were to vanish in the future
(because you never know what could happen with a private Framework), it
could be a problem for my code.
One of these files (EnglishToISO.strings ) is a textual representation
of code available in CFBundle_Resources.c which is part of the Darwin
source code (CoreFoundation (Lite) project). The second one is a text
file without any patented information or technic AFAIK.
I have some questions related to this:
1. Is it possible to add to my project source the file which is a
textual representation of some Darwin source code considering that in
that case, I would add the APPLE_LICENSE_HEADER_START to it so
copyrights and origin are well known? (The APSL license would be added
to the list of licenses I'm already providing with the binary).
2. Is adding an APSL licensed file into a BSD licensed project
contaminating it? Would it become an APSL project? This is still not
clear to me as IANAL.
3. As for the second file, is it possible to distribute it with the
source code by adding some specific license?
TIA
