EFF publishes iPhone Developer Agreement

If you’ve followed the news of App Store rejections over the past couple years, you may have wondered what exactly is engraved upon the stone tablets that govern the terms of Apple's App Store and developing for the iPhone. The trouble is we haven’t been able to tell you, as the agreement itself contains terms that prohibit publicly discussing it. But on Monday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) legally obtained and published a copy of the agreement for the first time.

While EFF draws attention to what it terms “troubling highlights” of the agreement, there isn’t necessarily very much that’s surprising if you’ve been following the iPhone development scene for any amount of time.
