Just because something appears silly or way of does not mean apple will try it - provided they see the shadow of money in it. Anybody remembering apple sueing apple records for trademark infringement? For the younger among us: apple records was the record label founded by the Beatles which predated apple computers ever so slightly (and it featured an apple as logo). Guess who _might_ have been inspired by whom... Or apple filing a lawsuit against M$ for copying the concept of graphical UI using mouse and windows and such thereby completely ignoring the fact that apple stole this whole concept from Xerox. That having said, while I certainly think apple is not above silly lawsuits, I don't think this particular lily app is meant to destroy lilypond.
