This pinpoints the difference between an iPhone user and the average FOSS developer. You don't care how much freedom you give up to Apple as long as the things you want work. And, if you are a typical iPhone user, when Apple says you can't have something, you just accept that, maybe with a little complaining. But for most of us, the fact that Apple exercises that level of control, to the ends of their profit and their users' annoyance, makes developing for their platform a much less desirable option. Would you accept a well-paying job from a company that you knew was evil? Most iPhone users would. Most FOSS developers wouldn't. _______________________________________________ Enigma-devel mailing list Enigma-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/enigma-devel
