Jeff, what you wrote about the QuickTime license is technically correct,
but I feel it may be in everyone's interest to note that Apple's
priority appears to be to simply make sure people are using the version
with the greatest security and fewest bugs; they're not going out of
their way to annoy developers.
We covered this earlier, and I provided the email address of the helpful
Apple rep who has answered similar licensing questions for my clients:
<http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2005-February/051120.html>
I currently maintain four products which require QuickTime to use all of
their features, and we just provide a link to Apple's download page in a
dialog that checks for QT on startup. That may not work well for
everyone, but it solves a lot of problems for the majority of
downloadable software products very easily.
While I may have many varied opinions about Apple's business practices,
I must say that with QuickTime licensing I've found them to be very
helpful, and well worth the modest expense of downloading a form and
dropping a CD in the mail.
