It also is bundled in with TML Pascal, and MegaMax C;  I'm sure most
other compiler manufacturers license it also.  The typical license
allows personal use but no commercial redistribution;   thus, you should
be able to copy it without worrying about legal hassles from Apple.
(I.e., they seem to encourage as much copying of this and some other
developer's tools as they can afford to without actually losing the
copyright to them.)

Big catch:  "Macintalk must be in the same folder as your application."
It looks like a system file.  Put it in the system folder and your
application will not talk.  Some will warn you that "Macintalk" could
not be found;  others will simply crash.  Put it in the application's
folder.
