Can we first find out whether it is safe from a legal point of view??
After the SCO v. IBM lawsuit, we should be way more careful.

Like it or not, Apple invented universal binaries in 1993, and so far

that infringes Apple's patent, then Apple can ban all the Linux
distributions and devices from shipping.
