GPL License and App Store

Open markspanbroek opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

As far as I know, the GPL license is incompatible with releasing to the Apple App Store. How do you intend to release uPort mobile to the App Store with this license?

Hi. Can you provide us with more info about it?

Sure, see for instance:

https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app-store-compliance http://adium.im/pipermail/devel_adium.im/2011-January/007973.html https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-gpl-enforcement

These links are quite old, but I don't think the situation has changed since then.
