I like your thinking.

Since users groups like GSAUG and publishers like Joe of Shareware Solutions II 
and Mike of Byte Works have been licensed to distribute system software
from Apple, Inc., why can't Apple, Inc. treat the ROM codes the same way.
Let it license emulator developers. Of course I may have missed something
in how the ROM codes are similar or not to system software.
