Wrong. Nintendo doesn't tell you what language to think in. Neither does MS, or even Sony. This is way, way worse. I hope it's just a blunder on Apple's part, and the clause is quickly revised.
- xsmasher 17y agoNintendo has other restrictions -- like a prohibition on using open-source code in your project, and a requirement that you have an office outside your home -- that Apple doesn't have. It would be difficult to argue that Nintendo's developer agreement is more lenient than Apple's.
- tumult 17y agoThose are both less restrictive than telling you how to think and how to behave. Nintendo's is dumb, Apple's is evil.
- malkia 17y agoStop spreading FUD. Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony allow you to use open-source, if BSD/MIT/public-domain or the likes of the licenses are used - that includes - SQLite, Lua, ZLib, and many others.
- xsmasher 17y agoI do not have firsthand knowledge of that; I was repeating something I read in reference to the ScummVM / Atari GPL lawsuit. http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Atari-settle-over-ScummVM-based-Wii-game-GPL-violations-742191.html http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Atari-settle-over-Scu... http://sev-notes.blogspot.com/2009/06/gpl-scummvm-and-violations.html http://sev-notes.blogspot.com/2009/06/gpl-scummvm-and-violat... I did not mean to spread a mistruth. Perhaps they meant GPL specifically when they said open source? I expect it runs contrary to the "Confidentiality Agreement" clause.
