I did not speak about adding that package to Mageia, as long as it's possible 
to do this (it's either OpenSource or at least redistributable).

I just said, I personally don't care and won't do it, since I don't have an 
apple device and will never buy one for (mostly) "political" reasons.
Although I have to admit, they are just too expensive as well.

For me this discussion is closed, Shlomi did import it, so it's all right for 
the OP and nobody got hurt.
My - rather rude - statement was just an answer to the claim of the OP that 
"almost everybody owns an Apple device".

And please, let's remember, although our core values include making the life 
easy for the end user (as Romain has pointed out), they also include the 
support for the larger OpenSource community - which in my eyes is the more 
important!
