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.
