Believe it or not, I'm not an author of it... And I'm not approving it, just found it interesting, that Apple accepted it into App Store.

You can still download IPA file from VideoLAN[1]. I'm wondering if it's signed and ready to install through iTunes. I also have original copy from App Store, so can't test.

Here is translated author's statement:

VLC is Open Source and I was irritated by how long they waits with their release - I've spent some nights on this and convinced Apple to approve it. And I succedeed. At first they returned it to me, because of violaton of copyright laws. I was expecting it, so I sent them links to MIT and GPL2 from VideoLAN webpage, where is stated, that you can use source code for whatever you want. Well, they approved it today.

I've been a long time ST user, but when I out of curiosity started playing with Vim and slowly get used to it, I now prefer it over ST most of the time. But I'm glad that Sublime Text is alive again.
