Is this available anywhere? If not, is it a licensing issue from Apple? I'd love to have an inexpensive alternative, and someone usually does a good job of making a lightweight, portable one for Apple products.

Patented. Not sure Apple would want to license MagSafe out.

The other problem with Apple not licensing Magsafe is the lack of car and plane adaptors.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

You'd think they wouldn't mind the extra revenue on licensing fees in lieu of sales of their proprietary bricks.

The MagSafe end attaches to the Mac. The other end can connect to any power source with standard power supply adaptor.
