OS X El Capitan License: in Plain English

Re:OS X El Capitan License: in Plain English by yxdfasdjkljasdf on Sunday October 18, 2015 @06:00AM (#10407730)

Judging from the article it does:

The author is clearly Apple and they are not responsible just as in the BSD license:

The Capitan is AS-IS, of course.

Unlike BSD, there is no source and a bunch of other very restrictive limitations, which is what I was commenting about.

1. I can’t use the Capitan with illegal copies of anyone’s stuff.

2. Apple didn’t sell me this software. They still own it, in fact. I’m just borrowing it.

3. If I install more Apple software, those are on loan as well.

...

And so on.

They place restrictive rights on the usage of the software and retain the ability to revoke your license. BSD does not, ergo it is different.

I'm not sure if this is also true in the US, but the ability to revoke a licence is implicit by law in many places - though the revoker may be liable for any losses caused by the revocation.
