Maybe the first time someone gave a reasonable reason why a startup may want to consider getting IP protection on HN. With that said, is there anything stopping Apple from adding terms to their app store requiring you to license their technology to them, w/o limitation, for free? Given the strength of their app store, I could see them doing it if they needed to.
