Err, these developers agreed to a different agreement. This is a NEW limitation.
You're right, it is a new limitation.
In theory, if you've accepted the agreement for 3.x, and you're not developing against the 4.x SDK, then you're not under this obligation.
But then, by the same note, there's no reason to hide the fact either, is there?
When Apple stops accepting 3.x apps in the app store, your existing, in-the-app-store app will likely be grandfathered in. It's not been suggested or confirmed yet that the new limitation is retroactive. Could be, probably isn't, but could be.
Afterwards, when Apple is accepting only 4.x apps in the app store, you'll be obliged to use the new agreement.
Of course, there'll be no reason for subterfuge then either, being as the agreement was accepted with good will and full knowledge of the new limitation, right?
