HOWEVER, there is a chance that some people might be surprised or worried, since this "smells" like a typical internet "trojan" attack vector. (I think there was some uproar about this in the past.)

IIRC, Apple used this for some ReadMe file on an install CD. I haven't read somewhere about people being surprised (and this would be the same persons that are offended with the DRM-Free songs).

Ah yes, many Apple "Read Me" type files are actually .apps that launch to show the correct language version of the file based on the user's language preferences.


Also you should test with "forthcoming releases" to see exactly what happens. (I don't think I'm allowed to discuss "the cat whose name starts with L" on this list.)
Linux?

More of a Great Cat than a Flightless Bird, actually. (And yes, Apple had a sequence of internal code names based on flightless birds, but I can't recall what they were used for. I definitely recall emu, kiwi, penguin, and rhea, but I don't think we did cassowary or ostrich. And yes, we had auk, even though modern auks can fly, and only the extinct Great Auk could not. Auk was just too good to pass up.)
