Developers: Windows Phone Product Manager Clarifies NDA Conditions, Users Free to Post Screenshots & Media

Okay, Microsoft we're on good terms now. Yesterday it was made public that developers would be under an NDA after signing the terms and conditions in order to download the update. The agreement specifically asked developers, "to not publish any content, screenshots or comments in any media in advance of the official launch of Windows Phone ‘Mango’."

As you may know, this annoyed us quite a bit because we were planning to offer coverage of Mango now but were worried this NDA would completely halt those plans. Well, there's good news developers and fellow bloggers! According to Windows Phone's Product Manager Cliff Simpkins, the original statement in the conditions was misinterpreted. Making an appearance today on the live broadcast of Windows Phone Dev Podcast, Cliff stated that developers are free to post any kind of media including screenshots and more information without expecting any sort of punishment. However they cannot share the actual Mango code with one another, meaning anyone who uploads the system dump of Mango could be in hot water if discovered by Microsoft.

So if you have Mango and you're media-savvy, enjoy the weekend project of unraveling all of Mango's deepest secrets (just not its code).
