The injunction doesn't say Apple can't take a commission from purchases made on external websites, and Apple is taking full advantage of that. (Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers also mentioned the possibility of Apple taking a commission in one footnote of her ruling.) Last week's compliance order states Apple will apply the 27 percent commission for transactions that "take place on a developer's website within seven days after a user taps through an External Purchase Link." Apple carves out a couple of exceptions: the company will charge the members of its Small Business Program at a discounted 12 percent rate, while transactions that automatically renew will also incur a 12 percent fee in the second year or later.
