Perhaps you could clear up a question I had about this...

Does "the methods of existing classes objects or their existing
relationships" mean:

(a) all those classes distributed by SqC
(b) those classes in the last Apple version, before SqC went to Disney (and
started creating a derivative work)
(c) something else

In other words, what are the exact limits of this "distribute source code"
provision?

Cheers,
