I'm using MyOpenID but with a delegation through my own website. In theory transitioning to another provider should just be about changing meta tags in my homepage. However, some consumers store the delegated OpenID URL instead of the

It's only free as in free beer if it's free as in GPL, otherwise you have to pay for a commercial license. GPL means you have to provide source if you distribute the app. And isn't there also an incompatibility with Apple's App Store terms
