@OmniGroup I'm puzzled by the announcement. Other developers are doing the same thing, though with far less fanfare. What rule was broken?

@sethwillits I restated the rule in the second sentence of my blog post. My understanding of that rule is broader now than it was last week.

@kcase Which at least 1 other big dev does very publicly as well. It's mind boggling this is not allowed.
