- mtigas 16y agoVery good point. The cynic in me thinks that if Apple pulls GNU Go, it’ll be solely for the copyright issue. (Similarly, other GPL’d apps that may exist in the app store via unofficial ports or forks.) What’s Apple to lose if a user or developer of an open-source GPL’d application mistakenly pushes said application to the App Store? That is, until another a copyright holder or another developer calls foul. I’m interested to see how this plays out between the FSF and Apple. Some murky territory we’re getting into regarding Apple regulation on licensing & copyright claims.
