Some of us did have legal concerns about the App Store when the iOS port came about. I think it's justified to ask for a review of the terms of any kind of distribution which can have problematic terms vs the GPL. Also I would like to ask of what the outcome of the IRC discussion ended up being? from what I can recall we did not reach a consensus and I haven't heard anything since then. Recently VLC was pulled from the App Store: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/01/07/2341227/Apple-Pulls-VLC-Media-Player-From-AppStore Hogne _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
