- postfuturist 16y agoThere were some download links for an SDK and instructions. I didn't download anything right away (stupidly), and when I came back a couple hours later, all that stuff was replaced by this "currently on hold" message. Sigh. EDIT: You can see info about SDK stuff on Google's cached version of some pages. EDIT 2: You can still download the SDK here: https://snap.sonydeveloper.com/common/pages/documents/view/?id=1001001 https://snap.sonydeveloper.com/common/pages/documents/view/?...
- Leynos 16y agoDo you think they may have run into legal issues with Apple once news of this project started to spread?
- aufreak3 16y agoUnlikely, since they're based on GNUStep.
- Leynos 16y agoGNUstep being more or less a re-implementation of Cocoa (and prior to that OpenStep). I'm not suggesting any copyrights have been infringed upon (indeed, I'm an avid user of GNUstep), but I always wondered if GNUstep would fall foul of the same kind of patent threats that Mono detractors seem to feel it is at risk from if it ever gained commercial traction. In fact, Apple has already made legal threats against manufacturers of Android phones, Android having nothing to do with Cocoa or Cocoa Touch.
