I recently made an iOS app that I’d like to distribute the source code for. I was initially going to license it with the GPL, but I read that apparently Apple’s App Store isn’t compatible with the terms of the GPL. Is there something that’s typically recommended by the FOSS community for this situation (other than just not distributing an iOS app)?

Thank you very much! That’s very helpful.

What’s MOL? (Or did you mean MPL?)

Ahh cool, thanks! Yeah, that’s what I had done for my initial release, so maybe I’ll just leave it as it is.
