How would it put an end to jailbreaking any faster than not being able to release jailbreak's at all because the only way to do so includes apple code.
I kind of agree with dhlizard here.
Apple would be faster with updates to counter this, and would be much more hostile.
Anonymous would probably release it with preinstalled installi0us to which would be damaging to the community.
No community support on forums like this for the jailbreak at all if they included that.
You should see non-computer-literate people when they watch Anonymous on the news. I've seen a few, and they swear like its a soccer match between freedom and the wrongfully portrayed as freedomhaters Anonymous
Agreed, that's why I'm still rocking my iP4 J/b 5.01... I use more J/b than stock apps....(Bite SMS, Tether Me, BT Mono...) Stock IOS is boring/ugly to me.

I've been a bit misquoted here. When I said Anonymous I didn't mean the infamous group but rather the definition of the word. If the brilliant minds who jailbreak the phone could release their work without having to worry about being sued they can use whatever code they need to to jailbreak the phone.
This in turn I think would be very beneficial for the jailbreak community and developers. People will be more comfortable knowing it won't take months to for a new jailbreak after a iOS update and will spend more money in the cydia store knowing their investment won't become moot because there is no jailbreak.
Think of it this way, they already jailbroke the iPhone 5. They cannot release it because it requires a Apple dev account. I will gladly pay for a DEV account if it meant I can jailbreak my phone NOW with a stable version of code. From what I read if you know what your doing a DEV account will also allow for a jailbreak no matter your version of iOS as long as the code is updated and everything that needs to be patched, is.
Apple can't loose either way with the revenue from dev accounts sold and the cydia store will flourish.
Some of you guys make it sound so easy to find a exploit. Then come up with a simple and easy way to inject the exploit in a closed OS. You have one of the most popular platforms, yet the amount of known Jailbreak hackers you can pretty much count on your fingers.
Well, I don't think you were misquoted, the quote function works quite fine. Misunderstood maybe, but the Anonymous group is decentralized and not one group. Afaik at least, no one knows for sure.
I do think you are wrong about the dev account, they use exploits that are patchable. At least for a "full jailbreak".
Well Its funny that we are actually discussing this any deeper in this manner now, as even if we discuss it back and forth, people who actually know 100% if we are right and wrong wont spoil it before the release of the jailbreak.
Also releasing anything now and some vulnerabilities are patched.
The re-distribution of copyrighted Apple code would give Apple something concrete to go after the jailbreak community with.
How do you think the primary hacking groups have avoided legal action from Apple all these years ?
By taking great pains not to do what you are suggesting.
I didn't say developers, I just said people... pretty reliable people.

Never? I wouldn't go that far...
Since jailbreaking Apple iDevices became difficult (iPhone4 to date), there has been a quick "fail break" for each new iOS6/new device.
To date, not one has seen a general release.

Oh so "people" that are specifically not developers say Christmas? It sure makes sense to listen to them when the developers aren't sure them self.
My mom is trying to invent a new cake, shes not sure about what ingredients she will end up using in the end. But people, pretty reliable people too are saying that it will take 1 hour and 20 minutes to make the cake at 200 degrees Celsius.
Lol... nice try at analogy... well, not really, it sucked. If you don't believe they're right, fine. I really don't care.
Stay on 6.1.4 they are working on a seperate 6.1.3/4 JB which should be ready before the iOS7 JB.
Not too sure about that anymore

Update #9 (Nov. 1): People are probably wondering why focus on A5+ devices is being lowered in priority. This is not because of difficulties, it is actually because it turns out a few of the vulns we were planning on using still work on iOS 7 (kind of exciting [yes and no]). We do not want to publish these vulns as they have the potential of being used in a future iOS 7.x A5+ jailbreak. With that being said, we are not removing our focus on an A5+ 6.1.3/6.1.4 jailbreak completely. We are looking for some vulns that exist in 6.1.3/6.1.4 but not iOS 7. The problem is... in terms of security iOS 7 looks likes an iOS 6.2
Ok, as far as i know Cydia is still not ready, so a release is still not possible anyway.
Interesting development though as it might mean that the evad3rs might keep 1 of their exploits in reserve for future JB's.....
