I don't know about that, but I note some things:

The wiki describes it as being non-free and cites two threads:

https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Apple_Public_Source_License_.28APSL.29
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected]
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/[email protected]

There are recent challenges to it being non-free in these threads:

There are copies of the license in Debian main:
