I have heard and understand (and agree in part) with the arguments about how Apple's legal policies may retard progress (for some definition of "progress") in computer software development, availability, and use, but that's got not much at all to do with good and evil. It may prevent you (and other people, including possibly me) from doing some things that we want to do, but that by itself hardly defines sin, unless you ask a two-year-old. But, if you want to quote some relevant religious writings, go right ahead. At least it would be a different approach. David Chase Sun Microsystems
