Actually after thinking about this some more, I think that the answer
may be yes.  Since the Apple license is free enough to qualify for
Fedora, we can ship the code.  What's prohibited is combining the
Apple licensed code with GPL licensed code.  Since we can do that by
choosing our configure options properly I think that we're ok.  The
Asterisk situation was different in that some of the code in Asterisk
had a license that prohibited Fedora from shipping it.

It'd still be good to ping Tom Callaway about this since he deals with
this stuff more often.  It'd be even better for upstream to get the
licensing figured out properly.
