I have not considered whether APSL has the same problem as GPL 
concerning monolithic images.  But Apple should, at least, be willing to 
relax the font language once the fonts are out, the indemnification and 
import  language to the corresponding language in APSL, and the "no less 
protective" language to the language in APSL.  Better yet, perhaps they 
will just grant the rights to SqF outright, which would leave us free to 
do everything right and develop the One True License.
