	Apple Public Source License - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Apple Public Source License is the open source/free software license under which Apple Computer's Darwin operating system was released.
		An open source license was voluntarily adopted to further involve the community from which much of Darwin originated.
		The first version of the Apple Public Source License was approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI).

	Apple Updates Public Source License
		Darwin, the Open Source release of the Mac® OS X Server operating system foundation, is proving popular with developers: since it's release a month ago there have been over 160,000 downloads of Darwin source code components and over 20,000 developers have registered on the Darwin web site (www.apple.com/publicsource).
		Apple is now recommitted to its original mission to bring the best personal computing products and support to students, educators, designers, scientists, engineers, businesspersons and consumers in over 140 countries around the world.
		Apple, the Apple logo, AppleScript, Mac OS and Macintosh are registered trademarks and iMac is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. Additional company and product names may be trademarks or registered trademarks of the individual companies and are respectfully acknowledged.

	FSF - The Problems with older versions of the Apple Public Source License
		In this way, if Apple declines to fight a questionable patent (or one whose applicability to the code at hand is questionable), you will not be able to have your own day in court to fight it, because you would have to fight Apple's copyright as well.
		Overall, I think that Apple's action is an example of the effects of the year-old "open source" movement: of its plan to appeal to business with the purely materialistic goal of faster development, while putting aside the deeper issues of freedom, community, cooperation, and what kind of society we want to live in.
		Apple has grasped perfectly the concept with which "open source" is promoted, which is "show users the source and they will help you fix bugs".

	FSF - FSF's Opinion of the Apple Public Source License (APSL) 2.0
		Apple's lawyers worked with the FSF to produce a license that would qualify.
		The APSL 2.0, like the 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.
		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.

	Apple Open Source License Draws Criticism - Technology News by TechWeb
		Apple Computer is learning this lesson as its new open source initiative has sparked a wave of debate throughout the community.
		However, three other noted open source luminaries have now weighed in with several concerns that are outlined in a document titled The Apple Public Source License-Our Concerns.
		The authors are Bruce Perens, another co-founder of the Open Source Initiative, Ian Jackson, president of the group Software in the Public Interest, and Wichert Akkerman, the leader of the Debian project, a non-profit development group that did one of the first releases of Linux.

	Apple Matters \| Apple Open Source Returns
		Apple’s support for open source is not dead after all, despite a slew of reports to the contrary, including my own.
		The Intel sources of the kernel had not been made available on the same schedule as the PowerPC and there were clear indications that this would not change.
		This move by Apple is a big one and is necessary to rejuvenate the developer community before the Mac OS X Leopard release rolls around.

	Wired News: Apple Lifts License Restrictions
		Apple has removed certain restrictive clauses from the Apple Public Source License (APSL), producing positive vibes from the programming community.
		But despite an endorsement from the Open Source Initiative, Apple's license was criticized for clauses that allowed the company to withdraw parts of the code for a variety of reasons.
		Apple claims that components of the Darwin source code have been downloaded more than 160,000 times and that more than 20,000 developers have registered at the Darwin Web site.

		Where Apple has not significantly modified individual files from their pre-Apple versions, their original licenses should be preserved without the addition of the APSL.
		Section 2.2(c) of the APSL requires that the producer of modifications to APSL-licensed code use a particular URL in the Apple.com domain to notify Apple.
		This is derived from a similar objectionable portion of IBM's Jikes license, which disqualified that license from being referred to as "Open Source".

	Open-source license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An open-source license is a copyright license for computer software that makes the source code available under terms that allow for modification and redistribution without having to pay the original author.
		There are also shared source licenses which have some similarities with open source, but a number of critical differences make such licenses incompatible with the Open Source Definition.
		Software in the public domain (that is, with no copyright license at all), meets those criteria as long as all source code is made available, and is therefore recognized by the OSI and entitled to use their service mark.

	Wired News: Apple Defends Open-Source Move
		Apple this week released Darwin, an open-source version of the company's newest server operating system, Mac OS X Server, that can be freely altered and distributed under the Apple Public Source License.
		While the license isn't as restrictive as some feared, it contains clauses that may prevent the free and open distribution of Apple's source code, said Bruce Perens, who together with Raymond co-founded the Open Source Initiative.
		Ken Bereskin, Apple's director of operating system technology, said that, contrary to Perens' claims, the license calls for only the disputed lines of code to be removed in the event of patent infringement claims.

		Apple Public Source License as being conformant with the Open Source Definition.
		If Apple dies, clause 2.2(c) becomes ipso facto unenforceable and (under 13.6) is voided without compromising the remainder of the license.
		We discussed this point with Apple in detail; what Apple is reserving is the right to withdraw not the entire ``Original Code'' (as in the Jikes license) but only those parts directly touched by the infringement.

	CNN - Apple alters open-source licenses after criticism - April 22, 1999
		Apple has eliminated a clause in its Apple Public Source License that barred developers from shipping software derived from the code to certain countries that the U.S. government has targeted for export restrictions, said Ken Bereskin, a technology marketing director for Apple's operating system business.
		Last month Apple announced it was releasing to developers source code for a few key components of its Mac OS X Server operating system.
		Apple's goals are to attract more applications to the Macintosh platform, spread the company's technology to other platforms, and improve Apple code by allowing developers to add capabilities and detect bugs, Bereskin said.

	Apple Defends Open Source Initiative - Technology News by TechWeb
		Less than a week after Apple released portions of its new Mac OS X Server as open source, the company was rebuffed by three leading open source figures with multiple concerns about Apple's code release and licensing plans.
		The paper brought up three main criticisms of Apple's License, or APSL, which developers must sign in order to use the code.
		The most serious charge was that Apple reserved the right to cancel a developer's license without recourse, which could cause a company to lose months of effort.

	CNN - Apple warms up to open source community - June 16, 1999
		In a USENIX session on this subject, Apple's senior software engineer Fred Sanchez said that Apple was wary of software licensed under the popular GNU Public License (GPL), because of the restrictions placed on incorporating the code into commercial software.
		Sanchez said that not only is the license unclear, but corners of the open source community have little or no interest in working with commercial entities to integrate proprietary and free software.
		The ambiguities of the GNU Public license are responsible in part for Apple's lack of interest in developing for the many Linux distributions that are licensed under GPL.

	As the Apple Turns: Reruns: Scene 1404: From Episode dated 3/17/1999 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Only one day after Apple announced that it was making portions of its new Mac OS X Server operating system "open-source," some advocates of the open-source movement are expressing concern over certain portions of Apple's Public Source License.
		Allowing people to download the source code for Mac OS X Server is meant to encourage developers to make their own changes to the operating system, allowing it to become faster and more secure at a quicker rate than if Apple were working on it alone.
		But Perens and others have posted an open letter to Apple that notes several points in the license that he feels are deal-breakers; among them are clauses that potentially allow Apple to "suspend use of the whole system," which would leave developers in the lurch.
