Well in this case I'd be really interested in seeing how the can tell the difference, be it only from a simple complexity theoretic point of view ! I understand they may look for common patterns in their compiler code to tell the difference between GHC's generated code and theirs, but pretending they can do it in this case only shows that Apple lawyers never communicate with the engineers.
No clue how they might be planning to enforce it, but it's not like the lawyers care; it's up to Apple to decide if they want to pursue any individual possible case of infringement, and Jobs to figure out what kind of hole he's dug himself into. :)
