No, they're saying that the people actually having to defend the position, the people with actual skin in the game, (Apple legal) believes this.

The opinion of the writer of a legal document carries only tangential weight next to the actual written words of this document.

And of course Apple is going to take the conservative position until a court rules on how to interpret the license; it's just not worth the risk to them.

How do you know what they actually believe?

I don't, as such. But a grandparent made a claim of their position: "It's not the position of the FSF who actually wrote the license."
