All in all the Legal Battle was pretty impressive. >From what I could find on it, it ended in the early 90s when Apple had to pay 26.4 Million to Apple Corps for the use of the liscence.

|Thanks. But I didn't really expect it was folklore. Just
|suspected it was a
|story that might have changed in the telling. A list member
|sent me a link
|that discusses the case; and in fact, the suit happened only when Apple
|Computer started sneaking into the music business. In other
|words, Apple
|Records perceived no infringement as long as the mark was not
|confusible due
|to being in a separate field, but got annoyed when the mark
|started to cross
|over into their field. That pretty much fits the point I was making.
