The EFF fought for our right to jailbreak: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/02/apple-says-jailbreaking-illegal https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/02/apple-says-jailbreakin... What are you getting worked up over? A digital rights organization expressing their digital rights? Sometimes freedom comes with greater responsibility and a slight inconvenience. I'd rather have that responsibility and inconvenience than just not care.

The right to jailbreak, and the recommendation to jailbreak, are two completely different things. I absolutely support the right to jailbreak your device. But I would never agree to actually jailbreak my own device, and I strongly encourage others to avoid it as well. The issue here isn't that the EFF is expressing their rights. It's the fact that if the EFF releases an iOS app exclusively on Cydia then they're endorsing jailbreaking and encouraging people who don't know any better that they should do this. I would imagine there would be some pretty negative things said about the EFF if they released a Windows application that required users to disable all anti-virus software. That's basically what endorsing jailbreaking is, for iOS.
