Yeah, I suppose the latter. Apple was super-cautious (even then) about copyright violation (even though it was clearly outside copyright). I was too big for my britches.
“We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us... and we drown.”
(Maybe I should add that Apple was sort of circling the drain about this time. I wondered if it was the last OS we would ship and there was a kind of sadness if that were the case. Somehow the line resonated with me at the time — I felt we were a little like "drowners" (that would probably be more of a Suede reference).)
