Excuse me?  News I saw was that
1) The suit WILL go to trial
2) The disputed material is NOT covered by the license agreement
3) The disputed material was NOT taken from Xerox, but was
   an original Apple work.

All of that is important.  The one thing Apple lost on was they weren't able
to keep it on the grounds of look and feel-- the suit will be decided on the
basis of specific copyrights on specific features.
