Frankly, I'm not certain that the part saying that applications developed using Apple Software may not be distributed outside the App Store is even enforceable. Where do you draw the line - if you loaded your work-in-progress on a developme

If you scroll down you can see that some people drew completely unrelated things. One guy doodled a stick figure. Another wrote "$0.01!! REALLY?!" The last guy did the drawing, then wrote "i hate u" over top.
