Google and OpenSource apps

AFAIK Apple has no policy prohibiting any open source app, provided it 
meets their other requirements.

The issue with deploying apps governed specifically by the Gnu Public 
License (GPL, which is used for LC Community distribution) has to do 
with Apple's limitation on the number of downloads per account.

That restriction is viewed as rendering Apple's ToS logically 
incompatible with the freedoms guaranteed in the GPL, which expressly 
require no limitations on usage.

AFAIK Google has no such limit on downloads, so their ToS is seen as 
compatible with the GPL.
