Should developers have the right to make software that connects with large platforms (like Facebook or iOS) without the platform’s permission?
Brewster Kahle strongly agrees and says:
But the Web is fun. The Web is so easy to use and inviting that millions of people are putting interesting things online; in many ways pouring a digital representation of their lives into the Web. New features are being invented and added into the technology because one does not need permission to create in this system. All in all, the openness of the Web has led to the participation of many. This is important because software on phones, tablets, and laptops are becoming more difficult to install without the permission of a company, such as Apple. [...] We do not need to wait for Apple, Microsoft or Google to allow us to build this. (2015) source Unverified
