Is it Legit?

Quote

Fun thing about the DMCA: it required Apple to state, under penalty of perjury, that the iBoot source code was legit:

All it needs is for the code to have been written by Apple. The Copyright statements are enough to get it taken down. It does not have to be the real boot code... but probably is.

We may never know. Apple is probably changing the boot code as we comment (or may have done already) and as the majority of Fanbois update their Apple toys I would not expect their to be much of a risk of mass hacking but it is interesting none the less.
