ZAPMAN,
In fact there are companies who sell other IR remotes who have captured codes for many equipment and SELL them to other mfrs, like Philips. Therefore, I would suspect that IR codes will not be made available(free).
This is the whole reason for prontoedit.com, which will have posted CCF (learned) Pronto files and can be freely exchanged. It is further hoped that mfrs will learn and post their codes directly as well. prontoedit.com already has icon files for use in pronto posted and searchable. Have a look.
