May 12, 2007 7.1 Bug fixes, new syntax and runtime files, etc.
August 9, 2008 7.2 Floating point support in scripts, refactored screen drawing code, bug fixes, new syntax files, etc.

So let's say they respond back saying 'different product area, stop bothering us', but in proper legalese.
If Apple says 'not worth our time', then obviously, it's all over. If they disagree though, what happens?
