- Actually we license the format information to "needy" people, we also
- license the StuffIt Engine for inclusion in products that wish to provide
- stuffing/unstuffing capabilities. You want to call Aladdin and ask to speak
- to licensing.

- The StuffIt Engine is still available as part of the StuffIT Deluxe
- and StuffIt SpaceSaver packages, and (as mentioned above) can also be
- licensed for direct inclusion in your own applications. Also, all of
- our application products (Lite, Deluxe, Expander, UnStuffIt, etc.) are all
- Apple event aware and include an 'aete' resource (as per the OSA guidelines)
- for describing the supported events.
