The [[OpenBSD]] project does not consider the Apache License 2.0 to be an acceptable free license because of its patent provisions. The OpenBSD policy believes that when the license forces one to give up a legal right that one otherwise has, that license is no longer free. Moreover, the project objects to involving [[contract law]] with copyright law, stating "...Copyright law is somewhat standardized by international agreements, contract law differs wildly among jurisdictions. So what the license means in different jurisdictions may vary and is hard to predict."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html|title=OpenBSD copyright policy|date=28 May 2019|website=openbsd.org|publisher=OpenBSD Project}}</ref>
