Apple owns practically the whole shooting match and some of the

these are accessible to the public and help not at all with
supporting the platform for which we would need specifics.

None of the OS or hardware design will ever likely see the light of
day unless there is a slip up. Only those parts that can be reverse-
engineered will be exposed.
