Doesn't Apple have to sign your binaries before they'll run on the iPhone
hardware?

According to a random blog post:

"Since all iPhone applications must be properly signed for iTunes to
process them and for the iPhone to load them..."

I find the idea of spending time porting FOSS software to such a
restrictive platform completely uninteresting. When they allow the
freedom for users to run the software they choose on the hardware that
they have purchased and legitimately own 100%, then it might be worth
paying attention again.

Best,

Chris.
