I don't get how you can modify the interface without the source code, or
does the Mac allow for that where Windows doesn't? I know there must be some
things one can do as I've heard of third-party security patches.

Here is another thing to think about. I have found that I can make
certain non-VoiceOver accessible application to be accessible by editing
the user interfaces with the interface builder. I could produce an
installer that would look for installed versions of such program and
install the new modified parts of the program. I have one for Skype for
example
I have been reluctant to release any such installer as I am unsure about
the legal issue involved in releasing modified versions of parts of
programming this way.

Yes!
you will be able to in October.
I am already waiting for the Core 2 Duo Mini, and I time my purchases
to coincide with OS X releases, this works fine for me. Christmas '08
will be good for Apple, but are they not missing half a year of easy
pickings?
The other issue is that the licenses are only as good as the laws
that support them.
Actually, Iam quite skeptical of "shrink wrap" and/or "click through"
licenses. I feel like if I buy software, it is mine to own and do as
I please. The idea that the vendor has more rights than me, and that
I am buying a license rather than code is offensive. But I can
articulate the vendors perspective, and do no like to see things
misrepresented, especially to a mostly naive audience.
