(not an expert on this - but some observations I've made earlier: ) I don't think apple disallows GPL apps per se (in fact if you google gpl apps itunes, there's several hits). I think it is more of a matter if the app publisher doesn't own the copyright of the work. In that case, other contributors may choose to raise hell regarding the GPL (which is what that Nokia employee did when VLC was briefly in the app store). But if you own the copyright, obviously you wouldn't hassle yourself for publishing your own app in the app store.
