There is no doubt that Apple’s license is a license that is mostly compatible with open source in terms of copyright.  
The terms related to trademarks and patents need to be scrutinized, but there seems to be no problem with trademarks, as long as the Apple trademark is removed in derivative works.  
The patents need to be carefully considered.
