I often avoid using prewritten code from anyone besides Apple if it includes any licenses, just because I get horribly confused when I read them, no matter how simple they seem.
For example, a framework I'm using has this in the header:
It starts off by saying it's covered by Apache License 2.0 and then the final line says it's covered by the MIT Open Source License... which one is it?
Or is it both?
What must I do to comply with the licenses?
I'm using this framework in an Xcode plugin which I intend to allow users to install for free, but some features of the plugin will require payment. Is that permissible under the licenses?
Do I need to share some amount of my own code? Which portions, specifically, if any?
Is there anything that I need to include in the plugin that's visible to the end users?
For example, a framework I'm using has this in the header:
