Aren't they then subjected to the current AppStore's limitations on open source licenses ?

I thought that's what barred many open source programs from getting into the AppStore, and this would be a different but still PITA hurdle.

Oh is that what GP meant by “truly free”? I thought free as in free beer.

Yeah GPL licenses are not allowed, at least from GPL2 onwards.

Then again, FOSS can get a CTF exemption if they form a nonprofit.
