andyp, Apple will sue anyone attempting to "open up" their OS for purposes of manipulation.
At the very least, they will void all warranties on the user's iPhone.
Linux is open, and so is Android (so to speak, insofar that public input is encouraged), but the iPhone OS is not. The public charters that cover Linux and to a lesser extent Android (as it is owned by Google, but publicly licensed) allow freedoms not possible with the Apple variant. There are enough changes in Apple's OS to allow them to not be part of the public charter, and to register their OS as being theirs alone.
I don't think WIRED failed on this occasion.
