There are, however, legal restrictions being (apparently) imposed by the EULA that would curtail the above situation: it would seem that the ibooks created by the software may only be sold/distributed through the Apple store and if Apple rejects the textbook, the file becomes (legally) undistributable.
IANAL.

No, no, no... all it takes to distribute elsewhere is for the item to be free or in another version produced using a different tool but content can be the same and if Apple rejects it then, again, just means that the output from iAuthor isn't saleable but content can be used in any other output on any other platform, just not produced by iAuthor... all Apple are looking at is material produced in iAuthor being offered for sale on the Apple store... no different to any other app at the moment that you attempt to put on the store...
