  1. What is it with companies and SDKs? by ObviousGuy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why can't they see fit to distribute the SDK free of charge without any strings attached? Why must they either charge you an arm and a leg for the kit or make you sign up to some sort of "approved" list of developers?

    If there's anything of Microsoft's that ought to be emulated, it's their SDK distribution policy.

    I love the the classifications of developer they offer:

    * Hobbyist
    * Open Source
    * Professional
    * Corporate
    * Malicious Hacker

    Gee, I wonder if the last one flags me as a terrorist... *grin*
