There are open toolchains for iOS now and if you jailbreak your device, you don't \
have to pay Apple the $100 developer fee.

That aspect of the argument then is moot, if we want to get into technicalities.

Ultimately Apple doesn't care about this. They only care if a copyright holder \
protests. Since the app store model is quickly moving to Mac and Windows desktops, we \
need to find a way we are all happy that we can help ensure users have easy access to \
truly libre tools, especially privacy enhancing ones.

Obviously my support for ChatSecure with OTR on iOS makes this an important issue for \
me.
