*2.2 Apps that exhibit bugs will be rejected
**2.14 Apps must be packaged and submitted using Apple's packaging
technologies included in Xcode - no third party installers allowed
**2.19 Apps that require license keys or implement their own copy
protection will be rejected.
**2.20 Apps that present a license screen at launch will be rejected
**2.21 Apps may not use update mechanisms outside of the App Store
**6.2 Apps that look similar to Apple Products or apps bundled on the
Mac, including the Finder, iChat, iTunes, and Dashboard, will be rejected.
**6.3 Apps that do not use system provided items, such as buttons and
icons, correctly and as described in the Apple Macintosh Human Interface
Guidelines
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/XHIGIntro/XHIGIntro.html>
will be rejected.
**7.6 In general, the more expensive your app, the more thoroughly we
will review it.*
*11.1 Apps portraying realistic images of people or animals being killed
or maimed, shot, stabbed, tortured or injured will be rejected
**11.3 "Enemies" within the context of a game cannot solely target a
specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other
real entity
**11.5 Apps that include games of Russian roulette will be rejected.

So, rule 2.2 states that only Chuck Norris will be able to submit apps. Other
2.x rules and 6.3 state that any major product from Microsoft, Adobe and others
will be rejected. Rules 6.2 says that Apple doesn't like competition (and I'm
curious to see whether it's legal or not).
Rules 11.x, while could be ok with my personal ethics, say that we're in a
serious freedom of speach issue.
