And then there's the part how Apple won't accept any GPL apps in

That is slightly wrong:
where you wrote: "so anyone developing Apple products will need to
purchase the commercial license"
you should have written: "so anyone developing Apple products to be sold
through either the App Store or the Mac App Store will need to purchase
the commercial license"
I develop a product that works on Macintosh computers (I don't really
feel comfortable with the idea that I am "developing Apple Products")
that I sell via MacUpdate and my own website -admittedly I do have a
commercial license for LC - but there would be no earthly reason why
someone could not develop a commercial product using GPL livecode for Macs:
Mind you it might seems a bit daft as any Tom, Dick or Harry could pick
up the code, change one image and market it as their own; so, arguably,
a developer would make exactly one sale before it was whisked away from
their control.
