[FSF] Why free software and Apple's iPhone don't mix

[Matt Lee]

"Why free software and Apple's iPhone don't mix" is the second article
in our series describing the threats posed by Apple's iPhone to free
software. Apple has imposed TiVo-like restrictions that prevent users
from having freedom, and developers from writing free software. These
restrictions argue for more developers to use the GPLv3 as their license
of choice, in order to block the threat of Apple stripping freedoms away
from free software.

People aren't going to hear about these restrictions from the Apple
marketing machine, and reviewers so far have bought into the hype and
ignored their significance.
