Apple Stifles Developer's Free Speech By Imposing NDA on Rejections

I've signed many NDA's (non-disclosure agreements) in my career as a software developer. It's a common practice for many companies, especially those dealing with new technology. However, I've never been asked to sign an NDA for being rejected for a job. If you're a developer and Apple rejects your iPhone application from its App Store, the company wants you to shut up and get over it.

Apple's serious about it: The company has extended the iPhone non-disclosure agreement, which prohibits application developers from discussing programming tips, to include rejection letters as well. Some developers in the past have shared their rejection letters on the web, but now, according to MacRumors, rejection letters include a clause that reads, "THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MESSAGE IS UNDER NON-DISCLOSURE."
