What exactly does that mean? What is a "rogue store"?
Is the problem that stores which list apps have no obligation to
actually pay the app author anything?
If this is the case, surely a blacklist ("installs_forbidden_from")
might work better?
Have we changed our position on wanting there to be multiple competing
stores, or not? If we have not, then how do we envisage it working in
practice?
Does each store need to have a relationship with the author of the apps
it lists? I was under the impression this wasn't going to be necessary.
