Then early Sunday, Apple changed its position and accepted the app after discussions
with Eucalyptus developer Jamie Montgomerie, Montgomerie wrote on his blog:
"Earlier today I received a phone call from an Apple representative. He was very
complimentary about Eucalyptus. We talked about the confusion surrounding its App
Store rejections, which I am happy to say is now fully resolved. He invited me to
re-build and submit a version of Eucalyptus with no filters for immediate approval,
and that full version is now available on the iPhone App Store."
[PJ: May I make a suggestion? Proprietary hardware and software is a problem if
you want to be free to do as you want. Why buy them? Why program for them? If you
don't want veto power over you, choose FOSS. It's really the fundamental answer.]
