Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:8 raimue]:
 > The GPL does not allow to impose stricter terms than the GPL itself
 does. CPOL states that you cannot "use the Work for illegal, immoral or
 improper purposes" (another question would be who decides what that is?).

 The latter two have no legal basis that I know of, and as to illegal uses
 ... I don't think the GPL can *allow* that. Illegal things are by
 forbidden by definition, so mentioning them explicitly shouldn't make a
 license any stricter. A bit like adding "this software can only be used by
 carbon-based humans" instead of "humans" ^^


 Anyway, I have a question about APFS compatibility (the main topic here).
 afsctool uses 2 data types (`HFSPlusAttrKey` and `HFSPlusCatalogFile`); do
 we know if these are valid for files on APFS too? I guess the former
 might, the latter maybe not - and I haven't found anything online to
 answer this.
