Not any time soon, as iOS isn't very FLOSS friendly (in fact, the GPL is not compatible with the Apple app store). There have been talks of making a licensing exception, but the iOS client with the most progress (https://github.com/Jman012/Toxicity https://github.com/Jman012/Toxicity) isn't functional at the moment.
- volitek 12y agoI believe there's someone working on a completely different iOS client that looks pretty snazzy, but they haven't got any public code in their repo yet.
- JellyYelly 12y agoOh, that's a shame. Hopefully in the future there will be an iOS client.
- davexunit 12y agoAsk Apple to change their policy to allow copyleft software.
- duskwuff 12y agoIt has nothing to do with Apple's policy. The GPL is what's getting in the way: it says you can't impose restrictions on the redistribution of a GPLed application, and the App Store doesn't have any means to even permit redistribution of apps once they're installed.
- ginko 12y agoSeems like the App Store's problem.
- Ridley 12y agoGoogle play store doesn't have that problem.
- belorn 12y agoApple sells products which they have decided to retain control over after sale. That is Apple's choice, Apple's policy, Apple's decision. It also conflict with a lot of things, including the GPL.
- f3llowtraveler 12y agoMPLv2 is compatible with both the GPL and the App Store.
