Thanks Scott. And one more update guys, AT is now updated again on BlackBerry world to match the correct version name (it'll now say 0.6.12 instead of 3.0) and it's updated to match the Google Code page. Enjoy

What does that mean?
Is there anyone working on an iOs version of AT? Or are we all apple haters?
I tried to con my apple geek cousin into trying to port AT to IOS. He said he would and I sent him the code, but not a peep, so I'm assuming he moved on to other things.

Last I knew, Apple's terms conflict with the terms of the GPL, and for AT to legally appear on the App Store, it would need to be dual-licensed. I gather that this would require getting agreement from every single contributor (whose code would be included in the port), so a single Apple-hater withholding agreement could put the kibosh on the deal.
That said, I don't really follow the license issues, and Andor's Trail is a much smaller project than Pidgin/Adium (my exposure to the problem), so perhaps there are other solutions that apply here.

Indeed the appstore's ToS add restrictions to the use of the software distributed through it.
The GPL license explicitly prevents distributors from imposing extra restrictions, but distributing apps in the app store means exactly that.

Pidgin has
an official statement for anyone interested in a brief rundown on trying to work around this.
Adium
had a thread on the dev list about this too. There's a lot of good discussion there, but a detail I've not heard mentioned much:
If we were to submit Adium to the App Store, any contributor - which includes contributors to underlying libraries like libpurple, libglib, or libintl - could (1) sue us directly and (2) activate the deauthorization provision in the GPL to remove our right to use the code, both because we would have knowingly violated the GPL.
Ouch.

Apple likes to not be compatible with anything..
Or anyone, for that matter..
While it would be nice to have our Ios friends join us in the hunt, I think we'd be better off converting them to Android.. :/
