In this case the license has been modified to explicitly exclude Apple from the need to keep derivative products open source. Unless shown otherwise, it does look like a case of the lead programmer being bought. I wonder how does GPLv3 deal with such takeovers. If it is so simple to build in an exception clause, big corporations like Microsoft can always sweeten the deal enough to lure programmers into selling out.
