I want to create an iOS app using a GPL library, therefore, I will publish the app as open source under GPL license too. But how can I distribute it to arbitrary customers?
- App Store: Restricts distribution violates GPL.
- B2B: Restricts distribution violates GPL.
- ad Hoc: Manually add every UDID necessary, 100 devices max, restricts distribution violates GPL.
- Enterprise deployment: Would be necessary to create an Enterprise Developer Account for each customer or would violate apple terms of service. iOS App deployment without AppStore
Article from the FSF about the conflict between the GPL and Apple's terms of service: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-gpl-enforcement
So is there anyway, or not possible?
