> ( for IP if you wish )
>
> I've been reading comments from many iPhone / iPad developers who are
> upset with Apple's new terms for the iPhone OS 4 SDK.
>
> One of those comments notes that someone posted Apple's new iPhone /
> iPad developer's agreement and made it public at
> http://friendpaste.com/AXqmXukhQtU4Sjzvt8tZT
>
> It seems that the following is the crux of most of the discussions
> I've read (the quote is taken from the above URL's page):
>
> "3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner
> prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private
> APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++,
> or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only
> code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link
> against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to
> Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility
> layer or tool are prohibited).
>
> 3.3.2 An Application may not itself install or launch other executable
> code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a
> plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or
> otherwise. No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an
> Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's
> Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s)."
