Hmm, not sure about that. I think they just insist on a consistent look. As I understand it, there are several cross platform libraries (iPhone/Android) around which emulate the look of each platform as much as possible (Corona UI comes to mind) - they are commercial though. It seems that such apps make it to the app store. So if fltk with some derived, natively looking widgets were used, I believe there wouldn't be a problem. But then - I am not a lawyer. It would be worth a try though... In fact, I would be interested in having a "developer version" of fltk running on i-devices. That would be a reason to get one ...
