Are you sure? I just went there an tried to download their gcc and was never
presented with any license. There is some stuff that "requires a valid APSL
registration", but gcc and gcc3 are not among them. See the page
<http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/6.0/projects.html>.
One thing that *might* be problematic is that CVSWeb requires this same
registration. But an APSL agreement and registration to access their central
source control repository is a much different thing than having to register
to get original and derived GPL code. As near as I can tell, all of their
original and derived GPL code does not require this registration to access.
Not a problem, IHMO.
