License-wide duties

This license states no duties that apply to the work as a whole.

What applies by default

The statements above are the library's reading of this license: each is marked with the sentence it rests on, or as a library convention where the text is not explicit. The statements below are the ones the DALICC reasoner supplies for acts the license says nothing about, from the default rules of the dependency graph it reasons with. Each one names the legal source it rests on. None of it is in the record.

No default rule of that graph reaches this license: it speaks about every act the rules are about.

Further terms

These are the things the license says about itself beyond the acts it permits, forbids and requires: when it ends, how long there is to put a breach right, which law governs it, and so on. A term that comes from the DALICC vocabulary links to its definition.

Patent license ends if you sue: Yes. The text says: "automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple." Not a ban on suing: a patent claim over the work ends the patent license, or the whole license, as the text provides.
Cure period: 30 days
Or later version option: Yes
Source publication period: for as long as the covered code is deployed or twelve (12) months from the date of initial deployment, whichever is longer
Terminates on breach: Yes

Clauses

Warranty disclaimer

8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

Limitation of liability

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).

Accepting warranty or additional liability

6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility, and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such Additional Terms.

Additional clauses

1.4 "Deploy" means to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code other than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or Personal Use, and includes without limitation, any and all internal use or distribution of Covered Code within Your business or organization except for R&D use and/or Personal Use, as well as direct or indirect sublicensing or distribution of Covered Code by You to any third party in any form or manner. 2.2 You may use, reproduce, display, perform, modify and Deploy Covered Code, provided that in each instance: (a) You must satisfy all the conditions of Section 2.1 with respect to the Source Code of the Covered Code; (b) You must duplicate, to the extent it does not already exist, the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code of all Your Modifications, and cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files and the date of any change; (c) You must make Source Code of all Your Deployed Modifications publicly available under the terms of this License, including the license grants set forth in Section 3 below, for as long as you Deploy the Covered Code or twelve (12) months from the date of initial Deployment, whichever is longer. You should preferably distribute the Source Code of Your Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web site); and (d) if You Deploy Covered Code in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code. 2.3 You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code. 3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License: (a) You hereby grant to Apple and all third parties a non-exclusive, royalty-free license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, distribute and Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2; and (b) You hereby grant to Apple and its subsidiaries a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify or have modified (for Apple and/or its subsidiaries), sublicense and distribute Your Modifications, in any form, through multiple tiers of distribution. 4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance, You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof. 5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple which Apple may grant in its sole discretion. 7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License. 10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple Computer", "Mac OS X", "Mac OS X Server", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark or trade name belonging to any Contributor. No Apple Marks may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html. 11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to license them at all. 12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate: (a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach; (b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or (c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple. 12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction, modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code and to destroy all copies of the Covered Code that are in your possession or control. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party. 13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this License. This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense purchases, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein. 13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to this License shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. 13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.

Review

Written from the license text by: Giray Havur
Written on: 2026-09-15
Second review: not yet done
Record changed since this review: yes (version 2, 2026-09-24)
Findings: 13 recorded, 7 applied to the record, 1 proposed

Version 1.2 of the Apple Public Source License, the last text before the 2.0 release the library already holds. The deontic model is the same as for the two earlier 1.x records; the text adds Personal Use to the internal use carve out, introduces the Contributor, moves the modification notice into section 2.2(b), and replaces the infringement suspension of 9.1 with the single limitation of liability that APSL-2.0 also carries.

13 findings

minor Rubric 1 spdx:licenseId applied

The record carries the SPDX id APSL-1.2 as its file name, its IRI and its spdx:licenseId, the SPDX name as dct:title and the short forms people search for as dct:alternative. dalicc:variantKind is "version", because the library already holds APSL-2.0, of which this text is an earlier version.
info Rubric 2 odrl:target applied

One odrl:AssetCollection of dct:type dcmitype:Software, the target the existing APSL-2.0 record carries. The licence speaks of Original Code, Modifications and Covered Code throughout and of nothing else, so no second asset type was added.
major Rubric 3 odrl:permission applied

Section 2 grants, in its own words, a licence "to the extent of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the Original Code", and section 2.1 lets the licensee "use, copy, modify and distribute Original Code, with or without Modifications". The record therefore permits reproduce, distribute, modify, derive, display, present, commercial use, derivative works, modified works and the distribution fee, and adds dalicc:patentGrant for the patent limb of the same sentence. dalicc:sublicense is permitted because the definition of Deploy names sublicensing as one of the acts the licensee may perform under section 2.2.
major Rubric 4 odrl:prohibition applied

Three prohibitions. dalicc:promote comes from section 10, which states that the licence grants no right to the Apple marks and that "no Apple Marks may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code". dalicc:ChangeLicense comes from section 2.1(b), "You may not offer or impose any terms on such Source Code that alter or restrict this License or the recipients' rights hereunder, except as permitted under Section 6". dalicc:patentRetaliationTermination comes from section 12.1(c), under which the licence terminates "automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent infringement against Apple".
major Rubric 5 odrl:duty applied

The duties hang off the acts the text names, not off the licence as a whole, because the reciprocity of the APSL is file level: section 2.2(b) reaches the Deployed Modifications, not the Larger Work, and section 4 expressly allows a Larger Work that combines Covered Code with code not governed by this licence. odrl:distribute carries cc:Attribution and cc:Notice (section 2.1(a) and (b)), cc:SourceCode and cc:ShareAlike (section 2.2(b), source of the Deployed Modifications "under the terms of this License"). odrl:modify and odrl:derive carry the same four plus dalicc:modificationNotice for the duty to document the modifications and to carry the Exhibit A notice. This is the shape the MPL-1.1, CDDL-1.1 and Nokia records of this review use.
minor Rubric 6 dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer applied

Section 8 is quoted verbatim in dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and the limitation of liability in dalicc:LiabilityLimitation. Section 6 goes into dalicc:WarrantyOrLiabilityAcceptance, because it lets a distributor offer and charge for warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations of its own. dalicc:additionalClauses carries the definition of Deploy, the conditions of section 2.2, the grant back of section 3, the larger work clause, the patent limitation, the version clause, the trademark clause, the ownership clause, the termination clauses and the miscellaneous clauses.
minor Rubric 7 cc:jurisdiction applied

cc:jurisdiction stays dalicc:worldwide: section 2 grants a "world-wide" licence and the choice of California law and of the Northern District of California in section 13 governs the contract, not the territory of the grant. Both sentences are quoted in dalicc:additionalClauses. dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, since the text sets no term.
gap Rubric 8 dalicc:additionalClauses none

The external deployment trigger has no vocabulary term. Deploy is defined as "to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code other than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or Personal Use" and it, rather than distribution, is what triggers the source publication duty of section 2.2(b). The clause is quoted; proposed term dalicc:networkUseTrigger, the same term another review group of this addition proposed for the RPL and CAL records.
gap Rubric 8 dalicc:additionalClauses none

Automatic termination on breach with a thirty day cure period (section 12.1(a)) has no property a record can carry. Quoted in dalicc:additionalClauses; proposed term dalicc:terminatesOnBreach as a property over the existing dalicc:terminationOnBreach concept.
gap Rubric 8 dalicc:additionalClauses none

Section 2.2(b) fixes how long the source of the Deployed Modifications must stay available ("for as long as you Deploy the Covered Code or twelve (12) months from the date of initial Deployment, whichever is longer"). No qualifier on a cc:SourceCode duty can carry that period; proposed term dalicc:sourcePublicationPeriod, as in another review group.
info Rubric 8 dalicc:orLaterVersionOption proposed

Section 7 lets the licensee use the Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the licence Apple publishes, which is the shape dalicc:orLaterVersionOption expresses. The property is used only on the four GNU records today, so it was not written here; the clause is quoted instead. The triple would be dalicclib:APSL-1.2 dalicc:orLaterVersionOption true.
info Rubric 9 record none

The consistency check of app.services.composer with the axioms of dg_default returned an empty conflict list.
info Rubric 10 record none

Family: identical in every modelled statement to the APSL-1.0 and APSL-1.1 records, and the closest of the three to the existing APSL-2.0 record: section 9 of version 1.2 is the liability clause APSL-2.0 carries almost word for word, and the Contributor of 2.0 first appears here. The Personal Use carve out of section 1.8 is quoted but changes no statement, because private use is not an act the vocabulary models.

Report an issue The review record as JSON The review checks the model against the license text. It is not legal advice.

History

This license model has 2 versions. Version 2 is the one served today; every earlier version keeps its own address, so a conclusion drawn from one of them can still be checked against it.
