Whether it is legal or not, you'll have to talk to a lawyer or contact Apple. I have been told though that for things like icons for Apple apps, it is OK to include them in your app as long as you load them at runtime and don't include the actual image in your app (ie using [NSWorkspace iconForFile:])
