Well I don't think Apple (atleast not when run by Jobs) was ever 'happy' with GPL. Back in the NeXT days Jobs actually tried to circumvent the GPL when they wanted to use GCC as a backend for their proprietary ObjC frontend by claiming that the end-user would do the linking and it wasn't until it was clear that they legally couldn't do that they submitted the ObjC frontend to GCC.

Apple wants to incorporate open source into their proprietary solutions, OSX, XCode, Instruments etc which in turn is part of their lock-in strategy so I'd expect them to remove all GPL code from their systems whenever they can.
