In April, Apple banned the use of Adobe third-party tools for the development of iPhone apps. Developers and companies watched in terror how their investment in the iOS platform was declared illegal overnight, for no understandable reason other than that Apple said so.

This week Apple reverted that ban. If you are among those applauding the move, you might be suffering from a case of Stockholm Syndrome.

The next time Apple nullifies your development efforts in order to shut down a competitor, you cannot cry foul. This time you knew what you were getting into.
