Hello guys and girls!
I'll try to cut this a little shorter:
I contacted a big blog that also runs a quite successful Youtube channel and they feature iOS software and apps and generally howtos and reviews.
So they seemed to be the right guys to ask "can I monetize Apple software (in this specific case OS X Lion, it's an old but successful video) on Youtube"?
Their answer was "yes, don't worry".
So I went ahead and clicked "monetize", but I got a request from Google now asking me to provide proof I may monetize all content featured in my video. (OS X Lion)
I googled, tried contacting those guys again and read the EULA and some other docs by Apple, but for crying out loud, I can't find anything that I'd consider is a doubtless green-light. Forget about contacting Apple Legal, I tried that. No response.
Any pointers? I want to create more videos of this kind with Apple software and it'd be good to know where to refer to when Youtube asks me again in future, too.
I'm not in for the money, but it'd be a nice touch to earn from what knowledge I accumulated.
Cheers!

PS: I'm not with a network. I connected AdSense and plan to keep it that way for the time being.
Also, I have more than one channel, so if there's anything I should know regarding uploading future tech content to other channels, but leaving this video on my "personal" (main browsing) channel, feel free to tell me.
