Well for Apples motives you would have to ask Apple. But from an external view of Apple, yes - this does seem to be a direct response to the GPLv3 anti-tivoization clause. Again, this is perfectly within their rights so I don't want anyone to think I'm complaining about this (anymore:-). I'm more annoyed with the FSF over GPLv3 than Apple. At least Apple have the courage of their convictions, which cannot be said anymore of the FSF.
