"public domain"?
"The public domain is only editable by Apple"

How confusing. Most readers think the public domain is the set of all works editable by anyone. Is there a way to word this without immediately bringing "out of copyright" into the mind of the reader? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 00:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The article now says "Apple maintains the public.* domain as a set base data types for all UTIs.", which sounds as if it's saying the same thing that "The public domain is only editable by Apple" without using the phrase "public domain". Guy Harris (talk) 17:10, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Similarities to Java package naming
The UTI seems pretty obviously based on the standard Sun set for naming Java packages. Any idea of the history there? Haikupoet (talk) 06:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Error
The bit about types, creators and resource forks is wrong. Types and creators have been around since the very first MacOS, and are stored as part of the file metadata (like creation date, etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.229.180 (talk) 22:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
