@daringfireball I don’t know why anyone thought EU mandating alternative stores would mean free access to Apple’s APIs.

If the EU mandates open access to Apple API it’d amount to imminent domain of copyright IP.

@pixelscience @daringfireball Apple is opening this door themselves by not having equal terms for everyone. The fact that you can gain free access to Apple's APIs if you are using the old terms means there are two sets of rules for developers. So long as Apple exempts devs in the old terms from the core tech fee they are leaving themselves open to being forced to drop the CTF for everyone

@amonduin @pixelscience so the EU are screwing us over.
