It is very strange to me when I see public discourse about Free Speech in any context not involving the government. Free Speech is not some unlimited right, Free Speech is more akin to a limitation on the Government's power to restrict my speech. However, just as important as Free Speech is my right to contract, including contracting away certain rights - it is for the free market to decide if the terms are acceptable. The free market has spoken and it appears Developers are willing to contractually exchange their right to publicly disparage Apple in exchange for their apps appearing in the App Store. Of course Developers would prefer not giving up any rights, just as I am sure Developers would prefer not sharing revenue with Apple, and if the Free Market did not accept Apple's terms then Apple would have to change or fail allowing room for new competition. While this is a guess, I would be shocked if the EFF does not include similar provisions in their employment agreements (i.e. restricting the rights of their employees to publicly disparage EFF, or at minimum restricting employees right to speak about EFF's trade secrets) - not that I am suggesting anything nefarious on behalf of EFF or some double standard, simply that such provisions are boiler plate and industry standard.
