Can I use the Apple Discussion software?

Question

I have my own web server and I was looking for some good forum software. I usually use phpBB. However, I started dreaming of forum software that would be great and remembered how much I like the Apple Discussions forums.
I am sure the answer is no, but it does not hurt to ask. Does Apple have any plans to make their forums software available for other people to use?
If this is not the proper forum for this topic, I apologize. It did not seem to fit anywhere else.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Answer 1

I agree. I am never sure when to mark something as a question because it may be quick or it may be a hard one and trying to decide who gets credit for what comments seems like a lot more work than I am looking for usually.
You had a definite Question. I do not see the confusion in marking it as such
clearly you did, it certainly was not a statement. Others do the work to help.
Deciding whom to reward and w/ what I think should be part of your work in return.
