They can send a cease and desist, but they're not required to.
Think like Apple - why on Earth would you kill a site with resources for their new language they're pushing? You wouldn't.
At most Apple might request that the lack of affiliation of the site with Apple be made more clear. After all who knows who this guy is? Tomorrow he might decide to post nazi jokes in there, you never know.
- Shivetya 12y agoThey would and may do so if they feel that it diminishes the brand or implies association that does not exist. That and since some of this is still bound up in early release; I may be off on that; may not be distributed by others in unapproved formats?
- wmil 12y agoApple requires you to buy a developer subscription to download Swift, and their documentation frequently requires you to sign in with a developer account. Although free accounts can read the docs. So a C&D would be consistent with their general practices.
- niutech 12y agoI am the guy behind swiftlang.eu and I can pledge that there will be no nazi jokes ever. Why are you hating so much? I want to encourage devs like we all are to get into a new and promising programming language and help people share their knowledge. That's why I built a platform to make the devs community grow. I used the Swift logo, which you can see everywhere in the Internets, but hopefully it's not a crime. Please be more positive to the new bottom-up initiative, because it's always better to do something useful than to do nothing. Thanks!
