Given that ESP is now owned by Apple,

A technical correction: ESP isn't owned by Apple; some things that used to be owned by ESP (presumably including the CUPS trademark) are owned by Apple.

Easy Software Products is apparently just an alias of Michael Sweet (and US law doesn't provide for ownership of a person!) Also, I assume Apple won't do business under the ESP name -- the Apple brand is much more valuable.
