Apple is claiming that this is an Open Source license. However, it is
not:
1. It has a termination clause similar to the IBM Secure Mailer
license. (I'm not sure that this is actually an Open Source
requirement, but it's certainly a Bad Thing.)
2. Clause 2.2c requires anyone making modifications to the source code
to tell Apple about it.
I think that, as a result, we should tell Apple that they need to
either change the license, or stop calling it an Open Source license
when it isn't.
