As I said, I'll post clarification information as soon as I can get it.
In the meantime, rejoice, but please don't slam 8000 users with "yes!"
messages.

Quick question, what do they mean by Released and Unreleased
software (just want the terminology correct).
Thanks,

For those of you who have seen
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program
We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for
released iPhone software.
We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple
inventions and innovations that we would like to protect, so that
others don’t steal our work. It has happened before. While we have
filed for hundreds of patents on iPhone technology, the NDA added
yet another level of protection. We put it in place as one more way
to help protect the iPhone from being ripped off by others.
However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers,
authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s
success, so we are dropping it for released software. Developers
will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering released
software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased software
and features will remain under NDA until they are released.
Thanks to everyone who provided us constructive feedback on this
matter.

Please hold off on discussion of the SDK on this list until I can
verify how this is to be handled, and post another message.
Thanks
