Apple liberalizes Safari license

Apple has quietly changed the licensing terms of the Safari web browser, reports indicate. While the Mac license remains unchanged, the Windows license has been altered from "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time" to "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on each computer owned or controlled by you." The revision date on the license is March 26th.

The new language follows reports which circulated yesterday, noting that the terms of the license were previously restrictive. Under Apple's old language, Windows users may technically have been prevented from using Safari, or else been given free reign for falling outside of the agreement despite having official Apple software.
