Just to note, this policy isn't new. It has been in place since the SDK came out. So far, it has been neither enforced by Apple nor abused by customers.

exactly! not sure why this uproar at this time but this has been there for a while. Regardless, I am hoping that Apple will fix it either on its own or due Facebook-style user revolt :)

I suspect the uproar is coming at this time because someone actually took the time to read the agreement, rather than automatically clicking through it. Those agreements might say that I have to give up my first-born child and I'd never know it. I just click through.
