Apple did not publicly (AFAIK). As David writes, they are happy signing OEM licenses! Sampo Kaasila (the original designer) did bring out the subject; it was not a direct threat, though, rather casually mentionning that use of Freetype without license for the patents would be illegal. I feel it was fair, by the way, so no pun intended: TypeSolutions' product, T2K, was directly competed by the new-born Freetype. In fact, it was this interview, now seemly vanished, that did make us (Freetype) understand that there was some problem here. Antoine
