Wait... the repository states that the source code is under the GPLv3. Doesn't the App Store disallow apps that are under the GPL, or is that a myth?

    We're not lawyers, so we can't say this definitively. We still have not seen anything that would prevent it, so I guess that's the best I can give you?
