<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Just moving the tread, and notice on VLC.</p>
<p>Vlc on Appstore is NOT GPL [3] it is MPLv2<br>
</p>
<p>VLC was re licensed to bi-license (MPLv2 and GPLv2+) [2] after an
humongous work by Jean-Baptiste Kempf [0] after being removed by
apple from the App store [1]. I'm no lawyer either and already got
too many gray hair from thinking about this. It is the main reason
why we never focused on iOS with QField. <br>
</p>
<p>Fortunately as Martin sait iOS != Appstore and there are
alternatives.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Marco<br>

<br class="">
What should we exactly join up to? :)<br class="">
<br class="">
Current QGIS code repository offers the platform to
collaborate. Here<br class="">
are some of the example of our recent works to make QGIS
touch library<br class="">
(on the back of great work from OpenGIS) and static
providers:<br class="">
