A couple of weeks ago, Mike announced that Apple bought CUPS back in
February and is now employing him. From what I read, Mike will be
working on something other than CUPS (don't know what) at Apple, but
will still be supporting CUPS. As for forking the code... For a while
now, the licensing has indicated that Apple brokered a deal with Easy
Software to maintain their own private fork of the code. FWIW, the
license also appears to allow 3rd parties to develop closed source
components on an "Apple Operating System"
