Pana sa citesc articolul asta (merci Stefan!), aveam o pozitie relativ neutra, obiectiva despre Apple, design frumos, totul intuitiv, cateva parctici urate de marketing, dar in limitele nesimteniei zilelor noastre.

Ei bine chestia asta, depaseste orice limita a bunului simt si drept urmare politica Apple in materie de EULA este pentru mine, de acum inainte, declarata cea mai infecta dintre cele pe care le cunosc.

Pe scurt nu poti sa faci ce vrei cu munca ta realizata cu unealta iBook Authors Programme. Apple decide ce sa faci cu ea cum si daca poti sa o comercializezi fara sa-si asume nimic. Cu alte cuvinte Apple nu are drepturi doar asupra softului, ci si asupra output-ului softului.

Sa spicuim pe text cateva din doleantele Apple catre userii lor, catre cei care le cumpara si le folosesc produsele cu atata patos, sectiunea 2B din licenta pentru end-useri:

•  (i) if your Work is provided for free (at no charge), you may distribute the Work by any available means;
