I don't think you will have any grounds whatsoever for a lawsuit. I assume devs will have to sign a TOS to get to the SDK. It's the same with Apple banning certain apps from the iPhone / iPod Touch platform.
I think Kali Yuga is absolutely right on this. Although I am hoping that the SDK allows us to view what titles are on the Kindle and cause the Kindle to open a title (i.e. we could create the software to handle folders). If not, I look forward to the hacked SDK that will give us more capabilities.

Any Apple App developers out there that can tell us what limitations Apple places on their SDK? Has Apple's SDK been hacked to get around those limitations?
