In my reading, that clause is to prevent the license from being used to
cover major updates, but I'm no attorney.  I sent a question off to Apple's
QT list seeking clarification on that one.

My favorite is the requirement to send Apple two copies of your product.  I
doubt they have time or interest to even look at one, and as a shareholder I
feel it's a departure from Apple's core market to get into the storage
business. ;)

But on the flipside, while jumping through the hoops is merely silly and
inconvenient it cost nothing more than a few minutes' time.

You can grab the license at:
