The Microsoft Typography Hinting and Production Guidelines document
defines criteria that must be met by fonts that are produced *for
Microsoft* (i.e. are commissioned for or licensed by Microsoft for
inclusion in Windows, Office or other applications). There is a passage
"For Microsoft fonts, a legal restriction requires that character code
240 (Apple logo) in 'cmap' 1, 0 must be mapped to the missing glyph."
(http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ProductionGuidelines.mspx ).
I see no reason for drawing a conclusion that in general-purpose fonts,
the Apple logo should not be accessible on Windows.
