Pretty much. Though, I personally prefer to avoid even having to apologise.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Bill's view is close to mine. In my work with other companies, this has often popped up. You have to be really careful about this stuff.
I know in the mainstream gaming industry people have made copies of Hecklar & Koch products by not calling them so and implementing them in the game. This has been done many times with other firearms companies as well. Certain companies get antsy about it, like Colt, while others really could care less.
It is a case by case basis. While Cessna itself may not have a problem with it, Textron, the parent company is the people that hired the guy to check on copyright infringements on behalf of them. So while the guys at Cessna are comfortable with the idea, they unfortunately and ultimately have no say in it. That is the square hole that Textron keeps trying to get us to put a circle through.
