I can only assume that any license issues are already solved, as otherwise
there seems little merit in using an old design at all rather than just
building a "conventional" low-cost machine using off the shelf parts.

Why do they
not use a Commodore 64 instead? It has already been
reduced to a single chip by Jeri Ellsworth and it has enhanced
graphics that are better then what the original C64 had.
Intellectual property concerns, maybe? The Apple II is certainly a much
easier design to build from elemental pieces or reverse-engineer.
