Apple is clearly anti-GPL3, which is not the same thing as being "staunchly anti copy left". They ship a number of GPL2 components, some of which were essentially forked when the upstream project moved to GPL3. Your last comment has been made a gazillion times over the last 20+ years but it's just not that simple. There was no time in which the default business model for software was free. What there was, was a time in which there was no mass-market business model for software, period. There was no such thing as a store you could walk into and buy software prior to the mid-'70s, and a much larger proportion of software developers were scientists, engineers, and hobbyists, who passed around a lot of common code, as they still do today. It's not like there was some golden utopia back in 1973 where the world's #1 spreadsheet application was free software, because such things didn't exist back then.
