EFF Presses Apple To Indemnify Developers

Posted by Soulskill on from the an-apple-a-day-keeps-the-trolls-away dept.

Julie188 writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation is calling on Apple to indemnify its developers from Lodsys — a patent troll that's alleging patent infringement on the in-app purchasing used by iOS apps. (That's the technology developed by Apple and forced on many of its developers.) The letters Lodsys has been sending out came to light on May 13th, and apparently developers have been asking Apple for help to no avail."

    Apple! You are never wrong! Everything that is done by Apple is done under a grand design. Apple developers need to "be tested" from time to time to prove their loyalty and fidelity. Of course, if they have been sinning, this is not a test, but a punishment.
