I looked into providing the GPL as a custom EULA for the Wesnoth download, however Apple states that any custom EULA must meet their "minimum terms" which can't be more permissive than their default.
I think dual licensing would be the only safe way to distribute on the appstore, however the original problem remains: some developers are unwilling to accept another license or exception. Maybe we could get a quick show of hands who is opposed to appstore distribution in any way, so I can start ripping out their code. My question though, is what about all the dependencies that Wesnoth uses, such as SDL? Is any project that uses GPL components also subject to the same problems? And why is it that only the copyright holders can object, why can't the end users of GPL software complain that Apple is hindering their freedoms, and demand that the software be removed? Rusty should investigate this, maybe he can get half the appstore taken down. ;) Kyle _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
