No big surprise there. Metro UI is basically equivalent to tablet apps. It's as if Apple were to make iOS apps work under Mac OS X like they do on the iPad (which they surely will in the near future). So, like Apple, these tablet and kin

This first Windows 8 development release is really to get people working on Metro apps. It's tablet-centric and desktop and laptop use (without a touch screen) is a very clear afterthought. There will be major changes to the way this all

The opinion of the operator of the website is not necessarily representative of the developers. And the project leaders don't own the copyright to Remi's thousands of contributions, so they can't choose to re-license it or give Apple permi

The GPL is the most widely used software license in the world, so you know Apple is familiar with it. If they chose to create rules in their app store that are incompatible with it, it would be hard to argue that they did so without being

For the confused: * VLC for iOS was ported by a 3rd party, not by the VLC developers * VLC and most included libraries are licensed under GPLv2 which has specific requirements around redistribution and rights of users/developers * Apple's a
