Hi, it's mentioned in the FAQ, little bit further down.

The mobile versions will be somewhere between $5 and $10. As a perk for funding Bluepass, whatever the price turns out to be, your version will include unlimited free upgrades.

The source of the mobile versions will be available, but for the success of a project, a recurring revenue stream is required to maintain them. The mobile platforms change a lot, and there are not many examples of open source projects that can successfully provide productized versions for these mass market consumer platforms. That is why I cannot commit at this point that the license will allow redistribution on an app store. This means it would not be an OSI style license.

Well, if you licensed the sources under the GPL, you could still prevent redistribution on iOS (though not Android), since the GPL is incompatible with Apple's ToS.

As the copyright holder, that wouldn't affect you, of course, since you don't need a license to distribute the software yourself.
