Rumor has it that Google's subsequent requests for clarification to Apple have gone entirely unanswered, save for automated messages stating that Apple's decision on this matter should be regarded as "final" and "binding", and that no further statement from Apple should be expected.
Um, yea that's exactly what I would expect in this case. If Google wants to know they can have their legal department send a certified letter (or whatever official legal channels they have). I wouldn't talk to Google as an Apple employee without a written statement from the executive level.
While I derive a certain satisfaction from this thought, I am certain that these companies have actual human contacts that they can reach out to in cases like this.
