Apple has made changes to the end user license agreement that covers its iBooks Author software, after critics hit out at constraints on distribution.
The legal agreement drew criticism after the software's introduction in January over its stipulation that books created with the free software had to be distributed via Apple's iBookstore if authors intended to charge for them.
In the new version of the software that went out on Friday, the company has modified the original language to state that the only works subject to that rule are files in the .ibooks format, which only open up for the company's iOS devices, such as the iPad.
"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," the EULA now states.
