If you're referring to to the EULA, none of those forbid you to publicly discuss the technology, ie, they're not non-disclosure agreements. The iPhone SDK's agreement is very specifically a non-disclosure agreement. There is a *huge* difference and I think you know that. ;-) I urge you to discuss the matter with a lawyer. Apple has proven they'll go after people for gross violation of their NDA. > Yet one can be discussed freely and the other > cannot.

Hey, you're preaching to the choir. The same argument comes up with the next version of OS X ... every time without fail. I doubt there's anyone here who doesn't want the NDA(s) lifted. That's not the point. The point is, those are the rules. If we don't like them, we need to complain to DTS loudly and frequently. Nobody here (not even the moderator) can do a single thing about it. We don't like it but complaining here won't change it. I said it before: Their sandbox, their rules. Anyway, I'll bow out of this discussion because it's off topic and fruitless. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
