Yeah, I was wondering:
Like it does with the iPhone name, Apple is also licensing the iOS name of its iPhone operating system from Cisco Systems. iOS 4 is a new name that will replace Apple's "iPhone OS" moniker, and it is the operating system that will power the new iPhone 4 as well as older versions of the device. Cisco's own IOS is used on some of its hardware devices. Apple also received the FaceTime trademark from a company called FaceTime Communications, which is planning to change its name.
If the license fee is based on units sold, Cisco could be making out like bandits.
