GPL censors GPL software from App Store.

- lorenzhs 11y agoThe problem is not the GPL, the problem is Apple's rules for the App Store. The GPL prohibits restrictions on the rights granted by the license. Yet the App Store terms contain restrictions (most prominently, the freedoms to redistribute copies or copies of modified versions) on what you can do with the software obtained therefrom. Thus, they are not compatible with the GPL. GPL grants you freedoms. App Store terms take them away. I think it's clear who's doing the censoring.
