Stan, This example is not a correct one. Nobody complains that a kitchen knife is not suitable to hammer nails, but nobody would forbid you using it for that purpose.
But if you buy a hammer at the store (or get it as a freebie), - you are not going to read the instructions to see if you are not allowed to use that hammer for a paid job. While I clearly understand the motivation of Apple, but it is not the RIGHT WAY to implement the solution. If the software didn't have functionality except for submitting the books via Apple website, that would be one thing. i Stan, please read the second link, - it explains what the problems are. They are not in the fact that Apple restricts something but rather in _how_ they do that. Igor Sun Jan 22 16:41:15 EST 2012 Stan Halpin wrote: I don't see this as a big issue. Blurb gives me free software to layout books to print/sell via Blurb. I can't use that software to print in any other way, even on my own printer. (Well, I can print, but with a big Blurb watermark on every page.) Anybody that doesn't want to print/sell exclusively via Blurb can find some other software to use. Apple offers free software to layout/distribute books via the Apple store. Anybody that doesn't want to sell exclusively via Apple can find some other software to use. Ho hum; no evil empire. stan On Jan 22, 2012, at 3:50 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > > Apple's license (EULA) forbids you from distributing your work created > using > Apple software. > > While the software discussed is not the one for photography, but for > writing/publishing (iBooks Author), this can create a precedence. > > Read more about it here: > http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/apples-mind-bogglingly-greedy-and-evil-license-agreement/4360?tag=nl.e589 > http://venomousporridge.com/post/16126436616/ibooks-author-eula-audacity -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
