I hope apple protects the guys that help them make the app store such a success. It's the right thing to do.
 
I'll be surprised if Apple don't respond in some manner. Not necessarily because they have the good of indie developers at heart; but because they would hate the idea of someone muscling in and (in a manner of speaking) levying a 'tax' on App Store development. It's their turf and (IMO) they'll defend it vigorously.
 
Apple is awesome in helping the developers. Apple isn't as cold-hearted as loved to be spread about.
