Hi Tino, I guess that means that the Apertium project doesn't own the code and cannot release the code under any other but the current license: GPL v.2 or any later version.
In that case the only solution might be a completely new application, wouldn't it? I'm not even sure if such an application could use the Apertium online service? What about the dictionaries? What's the trouble with Apple's requirements for the app store? Are all open source licences impossible to use? That would explain the absence of many good open source projects in their store.
