AEthereal constructs, sends, and receives replies from AppleScript-compatible AppleEvents. "AppleScript-compatible" means that the entire standard AppleEvent Object Model (object and insertion specifiers, etc.) is available and supported.

AEthereal consists primarily of the "dynamic bridge" portion of hhas' SwiftAutomation framework. Tweaks have been made where appropriate.

hhas has released SwiftAutomation into the public domain. AEthereal uses a dual-licensing approach to retain the spirit of "public domain" while dealing with its often dubious legality.

You may choose one of the following license options:

1. AEthereal is released into the public domain, with absolutely no warranty provided.
2. AEthereal is released under the terms of the MIT License, a copy of which is provided in LICENSE.txt.
