2. OBJECTIVECC AND APPLE INC. OPEN SOURCE DISCLAIMER
ObjectiveCC is an independent, original C-based implementation written 
entirely from scratch by Chris Galzerano. While it utilizes macro styles 
and API structures inspired by Apple Inc.'s Objective-C and Foundation 
frameworks (e.g., NSString-style macros), absolutely NO source code, 
binaries, or proprietary runtimes from Apple Inc.'s open-source 
repositories have been copied, cloned, or incorporated. Because this is 
a clean-room implementation of a programming style, the Apple Public 
Source License (APSL) is strictly not applicable to this Software.
