I watched intently for a few months to see what the outcome would be, being at that point a new contributor. No outcome was ever reached that I saw. I suspect the strategy was to sweep it under the carpet: we'll carry on as we are, and if anyone wants to file suit, we'll take them seriously then. Accordingly I took the same stance I assume others did: the (small, thankfully) work I've done I release from any license, but you get no more. I think the writing is on the wall and if you carried on contributing in the hope of a favourable (moral) outcome, you were naive in the extreme. As such I doubt there is any _remaining_ objection to Apple's abusive licenses in the context of Wesnoth.
