iPhone Dev Team considering open-sourcing AnySIM unlocking software

The iPhone Dev Team is considering opening up the AnySIM iPhone unlocking software, making it open source, in order to keep up with Apple's changes at a faster pace.

That's according to "Sam", one of the team's developers, who spoke exclusively to Gizmodo:

"Well, all the core members of the team are OK with Open Sourcing it. Now we are checking to see if the community likes the idea and see if we can grow support for it. We want to be sure quality software, however, not have a bin-patch-mania of pieces of our hard work by other people. We are sure that Open Source people will submit their stuff to the tree so the software gets better.

It open a lot of possibilities for the future and anyone will be able to participate with quality code."

To my mind, it would also seem to open the possibility of code variants, which could lead to some rather dodgy software being installed on iPhones.
