Laura Hazard Owen, GigaOM


> Judge Cote’s injunction forbids Apple from enforcing most-favored-nation clauses in any ebook publishing contracts for five years, and also forbids the company from entering into any book publishing contracts that contain them for five years.

> The DOJ had wanted to change Apple’s in-app purchase policies, and had wanted to force Apple to allow competing ebook retailers — like Amazon — to sell ebooks through their apps without taking its customary 30 percent commission. Luckily for Apple, none of that is included in the final injunction.
