I don't know about that, but I note some things: The wiki describes it as being non-free and cites two threads: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Apple_Public_Source_License_.28APSL.29 https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20010928105424z....@physics.utah.edu https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20040626225314.5da7f9da....@firenze.linux.it There are recent challenges to it being non-free in these threads: https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/d2119303-b470-9ebe-138e-1b57deb8c...@physik.fu-berlin.de https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/eff03d85-7990-af04-caac-57b076cc9...@physik.fu-berlin.de There are copies of the license in Debian main: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=APPLE+PUBLIC+SOURCE+LICENSE&literal=1 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
