I can't help wondering how Earl and the folks at Altsys would react if I were to write a program that reaches out into RAM, sucks out the code of any application (Fontographer, perhaps?) and then writes to disk an application with the same functionality that I could freely market as Dan's Font-o-matic. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of an artist's work (be he a writer, an illustrator, a font designer, or a programmer) being fair game for anyone who wants to rip it off.
