I think at best, the judge could hold corporate officers in contempt, not any individual computer programmer or developer. However, given Apple's stance, they would likely respond to the contempt order in a similar way they are now: accrue the fines, don't pay them, appeal as high as it takes to have this ruling overturned. I'm not a lawyer, at all. But my guess would be that if Apple reached a point in court where the original ruling was overturned, the contempt penalties would be invalidated.
