JSR $FFCF / branch based on C flag $FFCF is a publically documented call point in the C64 KERNAL, and indicates its response via the C flag, so such constructions in callers are totally expected and anticipated normal use of the API. Since using an API is an expected use of a system, it can be argued that there is an implicit license to do such things, in the non-existent reality where such a sequence could be copyrighted.
