Earlier quoted context omitted.

How would GPL make an app incompatible with the NDA?

I am just guessing, but it is currently against NDA for me to publish any source code to an iphone app that I write. If that app is based on GPL'd code, then I am obligated to make the source available, no? So the NDA and GPL would indeed seem to be at odds right now, unless I am not seeing something...

On the other hand, would Adobe spend however much it costs to develop this product without assurances from Apple?

Key point of the article is insightful and generally applicable. The stronger Android is, the more likely features which everyone want but Apple resists show up on the iPhone. I'm also patiently waiting for Linux to catch up to OSX in usability/UI.

Linux is a kernel, so I think you mean the X11 window managers that exist...like GNOME or KDE.
