Wow, Real says to contact Apple if you have problems with their instructions. Now we know why Apple doesn't want to open the iPod. I mean, would you want to handle the expense of supporting some other company's problematic software? Especially when it's Real's problematic (like there's any other kind) software?
You're assuming that Apple doesn't want to license fairplay.
Only a select few insiders know whether they're currently negotiating with potential licensees. Apple's public statements on the matter are no indication of whether or not negotiations are on going. This kind of information is kept secret because potential bidders might be influenced by the likelihood of apple signing deals with other companies.
You'd have to be pretty conceited to believe that apple isn't courting likely allies in the industry.

Motorola is licensing it. I'm sure others will
