Apple has decided to drop the iPhone dev NDA for released software.
It said that “the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success”. That’s putting it mildly.
Unreleased software – or even unreleased features inside released software – is still covered by it, however.
This means the lives of software developers (and quite a few book publishers) will now be a lot easier.
That sound you can hear is iPhone devs everywhere breathing a sigh of relief.
