Just because something appears silly or way of does not mean apple will
try it - provided they see the shadow of money in it.
Anybody remembering apple sueing apple records for trademark infringement?
For the younger among us:
apple records was the record label founded by the Beatles which predated
apple computers ever so slightly (and it featured an apple as logo).
Guess who _might_ have been inspired by whom...
Or apple filing a lawsuit against M$ for copying the concept of
graphical UI using mouse and windows and such thereby completely
ignoring the fact that apple stole this whole concept from Xerox.
That having said, while I certainly think apple is not above silly
lawsuits, I don't think this particular lily app is meant to destroy
lilypond.
Kind regards,
Michael
