App Store Declared Unfit for Free

Posted byGarrick van Buren January 9, 2011

To summarize:

  • The App Store terms apply to GPLed software in the App Store.
  • Those terms force strict Usage Rules on customers that prohibit many
    activities that are allowed under the GPL.
  • Those restrictions are not allowed under GPLv2 section 6.

Again, if any of you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. – Brett Smith, Licensing Compliance Engineer, Free Software Foundation
