Okay, then I am not going to distribute them. At least the copyright law where I live allows me to adopt (convert, patch, binary patch, whatever) any software I have licensed to work in my environment so I see fit. This means I can take this information and use it on my Mandrake Linux installation as long as I do not distribute it. If you live in countries with the same copyright law, and have licensed (bought) OSX you can do the same. Americans (USAians) should not do this though, as I believe your DMCA forbids you to even look at the output of that command. Would probably fall under reverse engineering in the USA.
