No, you're wrong about fines, imprisonment for contempt, etc. That might be true for senior officials at Apple (Tim Cook, etc) but definitely not for rank and file employees. Any of them that are asked to implement GovOS (to use Apple's shorthand for the proposed software) could surely quit instead of doing the work. To be honest, they wouldn't even have to quit. I'm sure there are plenty of people at Apple qualified to do the work. If some of them have moral issues I'm sure they can go work on other things. Apple will have no problem finding a few folks to comment out a few lines of code and recompile the OS. You're basically repeating FUD spread by Apple and others to make the situation seem worse than it is. Normally this kind of FUD spreading is reviled by the hacker community.
