He was officially sued for the development of the Jailbreak.
Jailbreaking is a completely legal activity (read: backwards engineering is legal) although it can void warranties with corporations and such. George Francis Hotz and the rest of fail0verflow staff was brought to court on eight violations, such as copyright infringement, which were all of course invalid.
The jailbreak is still available right now because of mirrors to demonstrate First Amendment privileges.
