VLC for iOS Pulled from the App Store
Uhhh it is not Apple that restricts software. It is the GPL.

No, it is Apple's ToS and it is appropriate imho that GPL software cannot be distributed through the iJail AppStore.
May people choose other less restricted platforms instead.

They restrict in different ways. GPL restricts in order to give more freedom to people who wish to use software in certain ways; apple is protecting developer rights, in a blanket way that not all developers want.
