Isn't restricting the use of open source software to those who are "really interested" part way to destroying it?

  I guess I'm just a pragmatist, and I don't believe in forcing Apple to do anything with their own properties. If they want to conduct their business in a way that is unethical but legal, so be it. While we might bemoan the walled garden model that Apple has picked and most people's seeming readiness to go along with it, you might be surprised at how many people would be interested in a store specifically "curated" towards GPL apps.

    You can simultaneously believe that something is justifiable/natural and that it is destroying open source. I think the majority of people would not jailbreak to use such a store, thus limiting the potential audience and reducing the incentive for developers to release to it.
