FSF's Opinion of the Apple Public Source License (APSL) 2.0

+ +

The Apple Public Source License (APSL) version 2.0 qualifies as a free +software license. Apple's lawyers worked with the FSF to produce a +license that would qualify. +The problems previously +described on this page are still potential issues for other +possible licenses, but they do not apply to version 2.0 of the APSL. +We encourage everyone who uses any version of Apple Software under the +APSL to use the terms of version 2.0 rather than that of any earlier +license.

+ +

In version 2.0 of the APSL, the definition of “Externally +Deployed” has been narrowed in a way that is appropriate for the +respect of users' freedoms. It has always been the position of FSF +that the freedom of Free Software is primarily for the users of that +software. Technologies, like web applications, are changing the way +that users interact with software. The APSL 2.0, like +the GNU Affero GPL, seeks +to defend the freedom of those who use software in these novel ways, +without unduly hindering the users' privacy nor freedom to use the +software.

+ +

The FSF now considers the APSL to be a free software license with two +major practical problems, reminiscent of the NPL:

+ + + +

For this reason, we recommend you do not release new software using +this license; but it is ok to use and improve software which other +people release under this license.

+ +

Aside from this, we must remember that only part of Mac OS X is being +released under the APSL. Even though the fatal flaws of the APSL were +fixed, and even if the practical problems were addressed, that does no +good for the other parts of Mac OS X whose source code is not being +released at all. We must not judge all of a company by just part of what +it does.

+ +

GNU-Darwin is a combination +of GNU and Darwin that is supposed to include only free software.
