How are you guys going to get Cryptocat on the iPhone app store? Apple rejects GPL-licensed apps.
- aaronharnly 13y agoIs that the case? I thought it was more that the GPL rejects distribution on the App Store.

- pikachu_is_cool 13y agoAre you seriously saying that it is the FSF's fault? It's Apple's fault. They didn't have to make the iPhone a closed platform.
- josephlord 13y agoIf they own the copyright they can also release it under the 'whatever terms are appropriate for the app store licence'.
- pikachu_is_cool 13y agoI thought the GPL automatically gives all rights to the code to the FSF.
- belorn 13y agoIs that a joke, or do/did you honestly think so? GPL is a copyright license, which people who receive it can use as permission when redistributing the copyrighted work. The GPL do not give FSF anything. Same is true for example that Massachusetts Institute of Technology do not get all the rights when some code is licensed under MIT license.
