aparte de que

Hola a todos:

¿Me podrían decir si hay que usar el subjunitvo en estas frase, por favor?

Aparte de que no sea así, es.../Aparte de no ser así, es...

Aparte de que es así, es.../Aparte de ser así, es...

Muchas gracias

I think you could use both subjunctive or indicative, but with different meanings. With subjunctive, you're not stating whether or not you think it's true. With subjunctive indicative you are.

Aparte de que es peligroso, perderás tu licencia. (You're stating as a fact that it's dangerous)
Aparte de que sea difícil, cuesta mucho dinero. (You're saying that it might be difficult.)

What do the native speakers think? Am I on target?

¿Es lo mismo si la frase esta en negativo?

Gracias de antemano
