Apple may update the Materials and the Compatibility Icons from time to time in its sole discretion.
The terms of this License will govern any updates to the Compatibility Icons and Materials that replace and/or supplement the original Compatibility Icons and Materials provided to you, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that separate license will govern.

You are not permitted to include a Compatibility Icon as part of your company or product identity. You are not permitted to engrave or otherwise display the Compatibility Icons on actual product.
