These are just a dump of the .lproj/.strings on an OS X/iOS system. So technically, Apple owns the copyright on them, and this app is merely presenting them for educational purposes. Also, the licensing is dubious at best.

Microsoft provides standardized terminology collection in different languages, which is useful for UI translators http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Terminology.aspx (e.g. it's useful to know whether Microsoft translates "Start" button to Russian as "Старт" or "Пуск" -- without knowing the exact term, most translators will probably choose the former, while MS uses the latter).

I guess this app wants to provide similar collection, but for Apple's terminology.

I was thinking "why the hell isn't this a web app?", but that makes sense.

EDIT: Rogue question mark. I'm Ron Burgundy?
