Which changes nothing, as it still isn't a conscious act by Apple to explicitly ban the GPL. The GPL banned itself from the App Store, plain and simple, yet everybody will still make it about big bad Apple censoring libre software from the

I'd hope it's a simple misunderstanding, but my gut tells me that this was planned -- I don't see how the VideoLAN guys can suddenly forget that one of their own demanded removal of the application and then vehemently say "we had nothing to

Mine is my first and last name. The feeling of redundancy between the username and the domain name went away after a while, and I prefer it over a surname domain (they just seem cheesy). Big win with a personal domain is if someone already
