That's neither here nor there.

(a) Amphetamine could still be sold outside the Mac App Store.

(b) An app name could be problematic even in FOSS land. It's just that instead of Amphetamine being the name that causes it, it will be something else. E.g. with the trend of banning/changing terms like "master" (as in replication primary master, not as in the owner of slaves), unfortunately named apps could be thrown out something or ask to be renamed to be included in a distros package manager or a project.

There are a lot of juvenile named open source projects that will definitely get in trouble or already have. GIMP and LAME are examples.
