The most straight forward way to dis courage this practice is for Tord or anyone else that is concerned to write small reviews about these apps and mention that it is virtually identical to the free StockFish app.Then these developers will be stuck with no revenue and still have to pay the annual registration fee to Apple.



This will not work. For the privilege to write a review you will have to purchase the app first, which you can do only once anyway. So your review will quickly be buried and nobody will care.


// Christophe

Hardly any one writes a review any-way, so I can't see it been buried any time soon.Also the warning in the review will lead to less purchases so even more chance that the review will survive.If it is a paid for app then I read most reviews before purchasing.


Sorry, I have not followed the discussion but I was just wondering if it is necessary to see all this just from the GPL point of view? If Stockfish was freeware without any GPL license, or even a plain paid app. with any general End User's Licence, regardless, does Apple not have a rule against people hijacking someone else's app. and selling it as their own? It does not look good on Apple if their customers can't be sure they would not be paying for pirated copies for instance. Tord has the authority to withdraw the GPL from any new version, as Fabien Letouzey did with Fruit, if that would change Apple's view of the issue or give Tord more ways of doing something against practices he may not like, then maybe that would be best. Any action against this kind of thing would not be enough to stop outright fraud but this is more "petty fraud". I don't think the GPL is much of a handle here?

The "unfavourable review" measure does not look feasible to me, it is a matter for the Apple store to enforce their own rules if they have them.
