I've been really interested in this. WordPress' recent volley hasn't gotten enough attention. Their whole site for the iPhone app screams, "please just try to make us stop." With, "code is poetry," at the bottom of the page, they've positioned themselves well. http://iphone.wordpress.org/contribute/ What I'm really disturbed about is that in roughly 6 months, since the iPhone Developer program started, and the release of the iPhone 2.0 SDK people were annoyed by the NDA, but put up with it. When Apple didn't discontinue the NDA after iPhone OS 2.0 (a few weeks) this movement galvanized. Weeks. Very impressive. Jump to the video game industry, where NDAs precisely like this have not yet had a single movement against them since 1985. 23 Years and no movement. More restrictive NDAs. Not a peep. What is the difference? It's something I'm planning to empirically investigate. Best. Casey
