Of course you have to have a license with Apple! Bridgeco wouldn't be
allowed to deal with you if you didn't, and anything that has Airplay
in needs to be tested and certified by Apple themselves before it can
be sold.

Bridgeco are in the business of selling silicon and provide the
hardware platform that's capable of Airplay, they don't (and wouldn't
be allowed to) provide the software stack that runs on it for
integration into anybody elses platform.

This is very true from a technical point of view and would be fairly
trivial to implement ..but as has been mentoned already - whether
Logitech would want it, and whether Apple would licence it for
integration into the squeezebox platform is another thing entirely :)
