If you want to develop Free Software, Linux.com (Shares corp overlord w/ Slashdot) has a good review of the conflicts between Apple's Registered iPhone Developer Agreement and licenses like the GPL. This is important for people who may not read all the agreements they click Agree to."

  1. Why should *everything* be GPL compatible? by Richard_at_work · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Enough said really, why should everything strive to be GPL compatible? I've often wondered this in the past when has its license suddenly decreed to be 'GPL incompatible' to a great outcry here on Slashdot, when at the same time the GPL itself doesn't strive for great compatibility with others.
