User asks for an iPhone version of pidgin and the request was turned down for this reason: "We cannot make a version of Pidgin for use on any device running the iPhone OS. None of our dependencies exist for that OS, we'd have to write a completely new interface (which we really don't want to do), and the terms for the app store are draconian enough that they are completely incompatible with the GPL. Even if we wanted to (which we don't), the GPL incompatibility makes it impossible to develop an app for those devices." It surprises me that the Apple Store's GPL incompatibility is one of the key influencers in this decision of not to develop an iOS version of Pidgin.
