It doesn't matter.

This will be my last post on this thread, I promise.  And besides, I 
smell a cheese call on this soon anyway, but here's my final thought:

It doesn't matter because if you feel their license is fair then you 
have no conflict, and if you feel the license is unfair then it would 
not be in your interests to support them by giving them your money.

No one on this list can decide for you whether you feel Apple's EULA is 
fair.

That's for either you to decide for yourself today, or for a court to 
possibly decide in the future.

In the meantime, there's still code to write so you might as well just 
write it on a system you feel good about supporting.
