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.
