*shrug* ultimately it is up to the developers. As far as I can tell GPL'd code is perfectly compatible with iOS. The VideoLan Organization seems perfectly happy to offer VLC for iOS under GPL http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html
There seems to be some dispute over the App Store License agreement with respect to the 5 device limit and digital rights management and compatibility with GPL, although it seems more of a philosophical dispute. Besides, not sure there is any reason except for advertising and marketing to actually put QGIS in the App Store. mars On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Noli Sicad <[email protected]> wrote: > > unless iOS changes it's license policy, this won't happen. iOS and GPL > > are incompatible. > > More on this topic. > > WordPress for iOS is GPL > http://ios.forums.wordpress.org/topic/using-gpled-code-in-an-iphone-app > > iPhone port (iOS) of GNU Go.
