Well, we've known for a long time that Apple's Tech staff is more hip
than their legal staff. Eg:

Macintosh Technical Note#168: HyperCard And You:  Economy Edition

Revised by:   jeremy j. bornstein, death dwarf of minraud     February
1991 Written by:      Chris Knepper   November 1987

This Technical Note describes some HyperCard anomalies with which
developers should be familiar when developing stackware, and it documents
differences between HyperCard versions where appropriate. Changes since
November 1987:  Consolidated Technical Notes 168, HyperCard 'snd '
Resources; 169, HyperCard 1.0.1 and 1.1 Anomalies; and 170, HyperCard File
Format while adding and updating material with regard to HyperCard 2.0 and
condensing or obsoleting information on bugs which have been addressed.

The 15 Billion Horsemen of the Apocalypse

With the introduction of HyperCard 2.0, many of the old bugs were quashed,
and absolutely no new bugs were created.  In fact, the software was so
bug-free that it immediately attained Nirvana and Apple has had problems
getting it to do anything since.  Just kidding.
