La NDA développeurs iPhone supprimée

Une NDA, ou Non Disclosure Agreement (clause de non divulgation donc)
accompagnait l’inscription au programme de développement pour
l’iPhone.

Cela peut paraître surprenant puisque cela empéchait peu ou prou les
développeurs d’échanger sur le sujet. Cela allait même plus loin car

des livres traitant du développement iPhone étaient en attente mais ne
sortaient pas.

L’information est parue sur la page principale du site
dédié au développement iPhone d’Apple. Elle concerne uniquement les
programmes déjà disponibles sur l’AppStore.

Le texte en anglais est reproduit ci-dessous :

We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for released
iPhone software.

We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple inventions
and innovations that we would like to protect, so that others don’t steal our
work. It has happened before. While we have filed for hundreds of patents on
iPhone technology, the NDA added yet another level of protection. We put it in
place as one more way to help protect the iPhone from being ripped off by
others.

However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and
others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success, so we are dropping
it for released software. Developers will receive a new agreement without an
NDA covering released software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased
software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.

Thanks to everyone who provided us constructive feedback on this matter.
