Sounds to me like a protective action in response to Lodsys and their 
patent litigation against developers. I've been following that and it's 
ugly. Apple needs its developers, and they were in a bind with the 
original requirements: developers had to use Apple's purchasing system, 
but Lodsys was suing developers for using it. The solution was to remove 
the requirement.
