Safari license says non-Apple hardware installs are prohibited

In its rush to bring Safari to the Windows platform, it looks like Apple's legal department didn't quite do its job.

Apple enthusiast site 9to5mac discovered that within both the licensing agreement presented at install and the PDF which accompanies the products, Safari's license agreement still prohibits installs on computers that aren't "Apple-labeled." While this is most definitely an oversight on Cupertino's part, for the time being, any Windows install is technically illegal.

Since Bootcamp is Windows running on the Mac platform, an install of Windows Safari there would be acceptable under these terms. Legal experts say there is nothing to worry about however, as Apple cannot enforce an agreement that doesn't make sense.

Either way, it makes the folks at Cupertino look like they are not doing their homework.
