- cyphar 11y ago> GPLv3 has a lot of provisions concerning how companies may/may not litigate patients. Apple's legal strategies don't allow them to comply with those requirements. In regards to the particular piece of software being licensed. The patent provisions are akin to a copyleft Apache 2. Since companies are very happy to use the Apache 2 to avoid lawsuits I'm (not) surprised that they don't want to extend the same protections to their users with the GPLv3.
