This is my own opinion -- not Apple's (!) -- but I'm personally quite
skeptical about software moral values, copylefts and selection of some
companies
that are somewhat 'better' than others. As a good example look what 
Sun tried to do by providing money to a small company so this smaller
one could sue OSF. Double moral, dear Watson, double moral. In other
words we should not be so naive concerning company politics, even better
just leave that out from the personal 'change the world' attitude.
