Let me rephrase.<p>Creating signed software that Apple feels is unsafe and not something Apple should be compelled to do.<p>Additionally, we all know very well that eventually law enforcement will demand their own copy of the software, or find it with the help of the NSA.<p>By the way, I&#x27;m totally with you that Apple should improve the security of their phones.  But this case and that feature are separate issues.  You can advocate open hardware &amp; software and defend Apple&#x27;s stand against the government compelling companies to act at the same time.  Those ideas are not mutually exclusive.  Hate the game not the player.
