App developer agreement puts a ban on jailbreaking

The latest revision of the iPhone SDK agreement that developers must sign, forbids jailbreaking or creating apps for jailbroken phones. arstechnica reports.

Jailbreaking will continue as long as it offers even a small subset of users something they want but Apple won't allow. Still, preventing developers from being involved in jailbreaking in any way can actually be a hinderance to developers looking to squeeze the best performance possible out of their apps, or those looking to experiment outside of Apple's walled garden.
