Changing this would only mean that CUPS forks have the option to be

Apple appears to be against anything containing the phrase GPLv3, to
the
extent that their employees were even forbidden from reading GCC
mailing
lists once the project started considering GPLv3 patches. Presumably
their lawyers freaked out about something in the license, possibly the
patent handling.
It seems like it was the tivo-ization stuff. They license a lot of
their stuff under the Apache v2 license, so I do not think it is the
patent provisions that frighten them.
