Apple's Clone Support in Question.

via MacWorld

>Apple says that the licensees' concerns are part of a negotiating tactic to
get better deals from Apple. "I suspect that the things you hear from our
licensees are part of a negotiation strategy. You know: you leak this or
that piece to the press to put some pressure on the other party. This is
fine, understood, acceptable, and makes the business a fun thing," De
Luca says.

Several licensees tell Macworld that they hope Apple is proposing
hardball licensing plans as a negotiating ploy, to get them to concede
more than they would prefer. They expect the negotiations to get more
reasonable by the time this issue appears in mid-April.<

IMO, this is a key negotiation. It's critical that AAPL and the clone
community structure a relationship that will grow the market.
