Ricardo,
the point is, there is some problem with apple's app store policy and 
opensource software (which VLC is supposed to be).

believe me, I have read the gpl up and down more times than I would ever want 
to, and there is a clear conflict with apple's app store policy (specifically 
placing DRM on everything). I am not sure about this alleged letter purportedly 
from apple about having the app pulled by the developer. what I have seen so 
far looks like the blame game.

anyway, its pretty much a dead issue as far as the app store goes. However, 
since that app is open source, you should be able to transfer a copy to your 
computer and share it with whomever you wish. since apple no longer has it on 
their app store, they cannot say anything about it.
