Perhaps the best thing is for someone to just go ahead and doit.  Make
an alternative squeak image without the offending fonts, cleanup the
license accordingly (and get it blessed by opensource.org while you're
at it), and make it available for download somewhere with the new
license.  It should still work with most of the change sets coming from
the update server (except any that are somehow dependent on the Apple
fonts).  Maybe once all of that has been done, and any glitches worked
out, maybe then SqC will consider adopting it and the license for
squeak.org.
