- Thread-topic: LGPL code in the Mac App Store?
There are/were some restrictions on GPL, but even those often go through and only get removed in the instance of a dispute. I think there has been some redressing of specific language in the GPL to address the issues. LGPL should be fine though, and there is a fair amount go GPL code in AppStores, so i don’t think it is the issue it is sometimes made out to be.

For one thing, Apple’s reviewers have no way to identify the license or ownership of the source code since they only see the binary. For another, as I said, the license is an agreement between you the developer and the owner of the source code, and Apple has no part in it.
