Well, if this is Microsoft code, following applies to it: 
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2fsupport%2fmisc%2fcpyright.asp>

And for Apple sources, there is also copyright notice that should follow 
if it is used (as usually people do).

reason or another image format changes own hack needs to be updated,
