I don't think the stakes are high at all. Generally, violating the GPL is extremely cheap - worst case is usually that you are forced to stop violating. Point me to a GPL violations case where the perpetrator had to pay millions... You can't just keep claiming Apple does this for a legal reason while there simply isn't one - loads of companies and communities distribute GPL software without any problems, from Red Hat to the many mirrors of Debian (which, incidentally, do what Apple would do: DISTRIBUTE. Yet no cases of them being sued or getting in trouble instead of the project they provide the mirror for).

I've read all your posts here and, again, there isn't a single, rational, convincing argument against the GPL. Perhaps accept that you won't convince others and stop argueing unless you have a good argument.
