[STR New]

- From the CUPS Developer Guide on this website:
https://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-cmp.html

CUPS is developed by Apple Inc. and distributed as open source software
under a combination of GNU GPL2 and GNU LGPL2 licenses with exceptions to
allow linking to OpenSSL (which has a GPL-incompatible license) and for
developers on Apple's operating systems to develop CUPS-based software
until alternate license terms. Significant contributions to CUPS must be
licensed to Apple using the Apple Contributor Agreement.

- ---

The word /until/ is clearly wrong; worse, I cannot guess what word *should*
be there. Perhaps /using/? Furthermore, these "alternate license terms"
should be specified. (And "alternate licensing terms" might be better
phrasing.)
