That is no longer true (I think it was changed around September 2010 or
so). You can use whatever you want, as long as *all* code is included in
your application; you are just not allowed to download additional code
from the net at runtime.
You can even expose the interpreter to the user; there are several
BASIC interpreters in the store, as well as a Lua console. However,
you either have to type in your app within the app, or use cut&paste
from email/dropbox/whatever.
I see that the Lua console developer plans to allow http downloading
of additional code:
http://mediaware.sk/console/
I'm pretty sure that is still a violation and will be rejected.
