      No GPL Apps for Apple's App Store


    On January 7th, Apple removed VLC media player from its application
    store for iDevices. Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General
    Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved–the hard
    way. This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone, given
    the precedents.

told you so!"
