Well, the Firewire code of Mac OsX is released under the Apple Public
Source License (APSL) and available under
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.3.8/.
I don't know if it is legal to copy it. It qualifies as a 'Free
Software License' (approved by the FSF) but is 'incompatible with the
GPL' more Information can be found at
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html.
But I hope you have at least the permission to have a look at it
without breaking one of the two license agreements(GPL & APSL)...
