I read them quite some time ago (when I signed them) but I don't remember reading anything similar in the Play Store. Several of these terms don't even apply to Android (the platform is open so you can publish where you want and you don't have to use reverse engineering on an open source project). Also, I don't see why the EFF would have published their Android app if they thought the terms were unacceptable.

Exactly. EFF is making a well reasoned decision here that is consistent with their stated goals as an organization, and with the stances they take on other issues. Obviously, there are massive differences between Apple's policies and Google's policies, when taken as a whole. EFF might (speculation) see the Google Play store as a minor compromise of their values, while the apple app store is a MAJOR compromise. > Also, I don't see why the EFF would have published their Android app if they thought the terms were unacceptable. It seems that the dominant theory by the enraged applephiles is relates to some imaginary 'holy war' against their beloved, innocent apple.
