Apple today fixed a clause in its licence agreement for Windows users who download its Safari browser — the clause restricted the software to a "single Apple-labeled computer".
"The software allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time," read Apple's Safari-for-Windows software licence yesterday.
Publishers of an Italian legal Web site settleB.IT notified UK tech publication The Register about the error yesterday and have called it a "mockery of end-user agreements".
Apple has since corrected the licence agreement to mention Windows PCs.
In June, Apple began promising Windows users a more colourful Web experience through Safari-for-Windows.
However, Apple was critcised heavily last week from users and Mozilla — maker of the now rival browser, Firefox — for its practice of pre-filling the check box for users to accept Safari-for-Windows as part of its update service for iTunes.
Also, yesterday two flaws were discovered in Safari-for-Windows that were labeled highly critical by security researchers.
