- Subject: Apple, iPhone SDK NDA and GPLv3
Can anyone explain if the recent change in Apple dropping their
NDA will have any impact on the GPLv3 issue with Apple and FSF?

The posted information here about FSF's views on GPLv3 and the iPhone SDK
seemed to focus on the NDA issue. Since Apple has dropped the NDA, shouldn't
that cause FSF to call of its jihad? Even if that happens will it really
make any difference to Apple since they might want to reserve the option
of introducing new NDA's SDKs for future products? Thanks for any
clarifications on this.
