From tech blogger Hank Williams, on April 9:
Trying to control where something is originally done is
attempting to control the thought process that yields a
given result. Because if you thought of it in Java, and
wrote it in java, and then, whether by hand or by tool,
converted it to C, you are now outside the bounds of 3.3.1.
Some may say my interpretation is too pedantic. But the
point is that in order for Apple to limit people in the
way that they want to, i.e. to prevent the use of a given
tool, they are inflicting collateral damage. I do not
think there is a way to achieve their goal without such
ridiculous restrictions. I have not done my legal homework
here, but this seems to be a clear example of restraint of
trade, a basic tenet of contract law.
Kinda ironic that Apple launched the Mac with a "1984"-themed ad, and
now are willing to pursue criminal penalties for anyone who commits
coder thoughtcrime.
Doubleplus ungood.
