Apple is a johhny come lately using the term app. I was around computers starting in the late 1960's and the term application or app was used by everyone back then. Ask any programmer or computer operator what the term app or application stood for. It's a common name for a program than ran on a mainframe in the data centers that churned out reports for end users. It is still used in mainframe environments and I'm sure on servers too. I'm thinking someone will copywrite every word in the English language and wait for a company to use it so they can sue them for cash. That's about as absurd as Apple going after Amazon for using app.
