Well, I suppose the GPL as written may be interpreted by individuals in
any number of ways, but as the links I provided earlier show, Apple has
complied with requests to pull down GPL-governed works on the grounds
that they are not compliant with the license.
If one is adventurous there's nothing stopping them from trying, and
apparently Apple lets a few slip by. Then again, they've also had
ID-theftware slip by too, but such errors in the review process should
not be mistaken for policy.
