alexalex Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Apple updates iBooks Author EULA to clarify restriction on format, not content Some felt that the original EULA suggested any "works" created using iBooks Author could be given away without restriction, but if money was charged, it would have to be sold via the iBookstore: If you charge a fee for any book or other work you generate using this software (a ?Work?), you may only sell or distribute such Work through Apple (e.g., through the iBookstore) and such distribution will be subject to a separate agreement with Apple The new EULA, however, specifically applies the iBookstore distribution limitation to the interactive e-book saved in .ibooks format. It is now clear that the content itself, including the text, images, or any custom code, can be distributed in other forms and formats without restriction. The updated EULA reads If you want to charge a fee for a work that includes files in the .ibooks format generated using iBooks Author, you may only sell or distribute such work through Apple, and such distribution will be subject to a separate agreement with Apple. This restriction does not apply to the content of such works when distributed in a form that does not include files in the .ibooks format http://arstechnica.c...not-content.ars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
