The App Store usage agreement has improved a little:

You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and
the Usage Rules), decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to
derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the
Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and
only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by
applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing
terms governing use of any open-sourced components included with the
Licensed Application).

but that part is immediately preceded by:
You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer redistribute, or
sublicense the Licensed Application and, if you sell your Mac Computer
or iOS Device to a third party, you must remove the Licensed
Application from the Mac Computer or iOS Device before doing so.

...which is still GPL incompatible (GPL v2 §6 - "Each time you
redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this
License." GPL v3. §10 contains a similar clause.)

This is a community matter more than a legal matter - it's unlikely to
ever see the inside of a court; even if it did, it's unclear whether
or not anyone could show sufficient economic harm or harm to their
moral rights to win, etc., etc. - it's a community matter. All it
takes is one copyright holder to complain, and it will be removed
(Google 'vlc appstore').
