> The App Store does not allow GPL'd applications. I don't think so, Wordpress for iOS is GPL licensed: http://ios.wordpress.org/development/ http://ios.wordp

  I guess what is going on here is that WordPress owns the copyright to WordPress, and doesn't have any GPL dependencies, so they can do with it what they want. No one else is allowed to make a Wordpress app for iOS, however. (I didn't check and am not familiar with the WP source code.. if they do have any GPL dependencies they might be in violation. Likely their app just presents an interface to communicate with their server stuff, so things like databases or anything else the WordPress server depends on don't count as dependencies for the app--so as long as they wrote the app from scratch they are okay.)

    No they don't. If I remember correctly, Wordpress is a fork of an older GPL cms. They do not have the full copyrights to license it under a license of their own choosing.

      You're answering the question with regards to "Wordpress the PHP app the CMS app that runs on a LAMP stack." I'm guessing that "Wordpress to iOS" is really just a native iOS mobile interface to the PHP CMS app. In that case, they probably have written it from scratch.

        No need to guess. Licensing info & source code are available at http://ios.wordpress.org/development/ http://ios.wordpress.org/development/ The Vendor directory contains the third-party libraries they're using. All of them appear to be MIT or Apache licensed.
