Assuming I'm reading this [1] right, the FSF seem to believe that Apple App Store (where the majority of mobile app profits are being made) isn't compatible with the GPL.

- jordigh 12y agoYou don't have to have the Apple store to have an app store. I believe Apple even lost in court the exclusive trademark rights to "app store".
- prof_hobart 12y agoYou don't, but as I pointed out this seems to be where the majority of app revenue still comes from. Cutting that out as an option makes it much more difficult to make much money from app development.
