The Apple one is the only example I have found in non-free, but there may be others on OSI's list which wouldn't get in: the debian project (and especially debian-legal and even more so the few lawyers to which debian sometimes refers) have limited resources and doesn't go around pre-approving licences before there's anything worth including under it.
