Apple updates iBooks Author EULA

Perhaps as a result of the confusion or discussion about the scope of application of the iBooks Author EULA (the post below), Apple has updated the software's EULA to emphasise that the limitation only applies to books generated into Apple's proprietary .ibooks format:

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.

Still an interesting move; how would you feel if Microsoft tried to claim that any Word documents created through Microsoft Word had to be distributed through a Microsoft platform?
