I know this is a (very) old thread, but it may be worth resurrecting; it seems that it is impossible to put a GPLv2 application into the Apple App Store after all. Not because of the reasons I brought up in the thread earlier, but due to the Terms of Service for Apple's App Store. (In other words, you aren't breaking the GPL or Apple's agreements by putting a GPLv2 app in the App Store, as has been discussed already; but Apple is if they actually distribute the app to people.) The FSF have an analysis at <http://www.fsf.org/news/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-gpl-enforcement>, with further links and information. (The issue is that when selling/providing apps to people via the App Store, Apple puts restrictions on the ways in which you can use the app, which contradicts the last sentence of section 6 of the GPLv2.) Therefore, Enigma on the iPhone probably wouldn't be possible after all, at least not via Apple's App Store. -- ais523 _______________________________________________ Enigma-devel mailing list Enigma-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/enigma-devel
