Obviously it's a major victory that corporations are beginning to embrace the idea of open source. But what happens
when they begin to "embrace and extend" (see Halloween Docs I & II)? The APSL scares me a little because (if I
understand it correctly), Apple has built into the APSL the provision that they can revoke anyone's license at any time.
This feels like an "extension" to me.
Please read the license and the many posts on all these apple threads. Apple cannot revoke the license. They may revoke your access to 'affected' code (and here the definition can be interpreted variously) if they are sued, cannot settle the suit, AND cannot develop a work around.
