license_text
In addition, as the copyright holder of CUPS, Apple Inc. grants
the following special exceptions:
1. Apple Operating System Development License Exception;
a. Software that is developed by any person or entity
for an Apple Operating System ("Apple OS-Developed
Software"), including but not limited to Apple and
third party printer drivers, filters, and backends
for an Apple Operating System, that is linked to the
CUPS imaging library or based on any sample filters
or backends provided with CUPS shall not be
considered to be a derivative work or collective work
based on the CUPS program and is exempt from the
mandatory source code release clauses of the GNU GPL.
You may therefore distribute linked combinations of
the CUPS imaging library with Apple OS-Developed
Software without releasing the source code of the
Apple OS-Developed Software. You may also use sample
filters and backends provided with CUPS to develop
Apple OS-Developed Software without releasing the
source code of the Apple OS-Developed Software.
b. An Apple Operating System means any operating system
software developed and/or marketed by Apple Inc.,
including but not limited to all existing releases and
versions of Apple's Darwin, OS X, and OS X Server
products and all follow-on releases and future
versions thereof.
c. This exception is only available for Apple
OS-Developed Software and does not apply to software
that is distributed for use on other operating
systems.
d. All CUPS software that falls under this license
exception have the following text at the top of each
source file:
This file is subject to the Apple OS-Developed
Software exception.
2. OpenSSL Toolkit License Exception;
a. Apple Inc. explicitly allows the compilation and
distribution of the CUPS software with the OpenSSL
Toolkit.
No developer is required to provide these exceptions in a
derived work.
