As bothersome as these jailbreak checks can be, talented developers almost always find ways around them, and a new free jailbreak tweak called Specbreak by iOS developer Tatsh happens to fall into that category.

Apple relaxes its controversial guidelines for template-based apps, waives dev fees for governments and nonprofits starting next year
Apple took a stance recently against cookie-cutter style apps by outright banning them from the App Store.

Unfortunately, they were also often used by small business, nonprofits, or government organizations who didn't have the resources to develop their own apps from scratch.
