Last week, Apple announced ebook authoring software called iBooks
Author. As you would expect from Apple, the software is completely
proprietary—but the license includes some terms that are so
restrictive, they shock even Apple's fans.

Rémi Denis-Courmont is one of the primary developers of the VLC media
player, which is free software and distributed under the GPL. Earlier
this week, he wrote to Apple to complain that his work was being
distributed through their App Store, under terms that contradict the
GPL's conditions and prohibit users from sharing the program.

An iPhone port of GNU Go is currently being distributed through Apple's App Store. However, this distribution is not in compliance with the GNU GPL. The primary problem is that Apple imposes numerous legal restrictions on use and distribution of GNU Go through the iTunes Store Terms of Service, which is forbidden by section 6 of GPLv2. So today we have written to Apple and asked them to come into compliance. We would be happy to see Apple distribute these programs under the GPL's terms, but unfortunately, it seems much more likely that they'll simply make the problem go away by removing GNU Go from the App Store.

At Apple's "Spring Forward" press event on Monday, March 9, the electronics company expounded upon its plans to release a smartwatch and revealed updates to its MacBook computer line, among other announcements. Underneath their focus on "innovation" and "design," however, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other participating speakers neglected to address growing concerns about the proprietary software and Digital Restrictions Management technologies distributed with its products and services, which only serve to extend the company's oppression of computer users and their freedoms.

Watching two proprietary software companies deeply opposed to computer
user freedom lob accusations back and forth about who is more opposed
to freedom has been surreal, to say the least. But what's been crystal
clear is that the freedom these companies are arguing about is their
own, not that of their users. And what they are calling freedom isn't
freedom at all -- it is the ability to control those users. Adobe is
mad at Apple for not letting Adobe control iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Touch users via Flash, and Apple is mad at Adobe for suggesting that
Apple is arbitrarily abusing its control over Application Store users.
