Xbox 360?&lt;p&gt;Also, there is a bit of showmanship on the EFF&apos;s part here by going the FOIA route. You have to be able to read the contract before agreeing to it. Anyone (legally) can walk down the path of signing up for the developer account, and then bail when they get to the developer agreement. The reason that &quot;public copies are scarce&quot; is that anyone can go to Apple&apos;s website and go through the signup process and decide for themselves if the agreement is to their liking or not.</text></comment>
