Maybe.  But Apple controls who gets a license and three guesses as to
whether MagicSac would be allowed to get one.

Also, they have different language that covers this problem in the MacApp
license: it says your code has to be for a Macintosh.  I'm sure they
could have said:
    System and Finder are licensed for use only with Macintosh computers
    made by Apple Computer, Inc.
