Apple has refused to release source to its MPW, Macintosh 
Programmer's Workshop claiming that patent rights belong to 
Consulair. MPW became unsupported with the advent of OS neXt.

That may, and may not, be the whole story but MPW is now available 
for free from the Apple web site and there is a mailing list for it 
though it's not terribly active. The URL gets changed once in a while 
but I last saw it under an ftp directory on the Apple site. Searching 
ought to work - - somehow. Ask if you can't find it.
