Probably not the best way to renew their interest in web standards

Hard to know. If a court decision forces them to allow other browser (engines) on iOS and people start moving away from Safari Apple may decide that it is in their best interest to make Safari the best web experience if they want to (re)attract those customers. See Microsoft and Edge.

I'd like to launch a law suit against Nexedi because ERP5 is based on Zope instead of Django and I'd like to run a version on Django becaus Zope doesn't have the features I need but Django does. As a result they are unreasonably denying me access to those features. Does anybody know how I can start the litigation process in France?

This will be interesting to watch. Apple has become a dominant player in the mobile industry and being in that role it restricts what they can do now (and could earlier get away with). Bundling related rulings had huge impact in the past on e.g. IBM and Microsoft.

I think the point is that they don't have to care, as long as they allow other browser engines than Apple's specific Webkit.

Why do they need to do that? Their platform, their rules. You don't want to play by Apple's rules then leave Apple's sandbox.

This is absurd. You have no rights and no freedoms while using a vendor's software. They knew the restrictions going in. This is going to die quickly in the courts.

It is long shot, in my opinion PR stunt.

Cited law 'déséquilibre significatif entre les droits et obligations des parties' means 'significant imbalance between the rights and obligations of the parties'

I dont even think it is related (it is not even translated in the post)

nobody stops you from using another ERP, they can't use another browser.

They don't own the platform where the ERP runs, apple does.

Nobody is making them support the iPhone.
