Well, I'm new to the blackberry, but I'm certainly not new to using GPL and other open source software on commercial platforms in commercial environments. I'm surprised and disappointed that there isn't a lot more discussion going on about these apps going away. The 2 main questions in my mind are 1) why? and 2) was it justified?

What are we supposed to do, start developing our own apps with a publicly available SDK, and if we happen to do "whatever" we'll find out? The only things I can imagine are that somebody either felt the author had used some of their code, a patent, or was simply a threat to their margin.

Bottom line for me, is if you have the guts to run somebody out of town, then have the guts to stand up and say why.
