Can someone explain, in a way that assumes no prior knowledge of CalDAV, what the impact of this change will be?

Can someone explain, in a way that assumes no prior knowledge of CalDAV, what the impact of this change will be?
- spinchange 14y agoShort, worst-case answer: Google web calendars no longer syncing with Microsoft or Apple's local ones. There are finer points and some exceptions, but that's the basic bottom line.
- raldi 14y agoLike, right now you can sync iCal on your Mac with Google Calendar, but next year that won't be possible? What about on an iPhone?
- spinchange 14y agoIt remains to be seen. Google has said that they will "whitelist" certain developers to continue using CalDAV which is what iCal uses to sync both the Mac & iPhone. One would hope/expect that Apple will be one of those developers. No one from either company has commented or confirmed it either way. It's a major reason why people are so surprised and incredulous about Google moving away from the standard.
