VLC iOS developers fight back

"Two and a half months after VLC core developer Rémi Denis-Courmont submitted an infringement of copyright complaint, Apple has removed the iOS version of VLC Media Player from its App Store. Apple is now reported to have told Applidium, the team responsible for porting the open source media player to iOS, that the application was removed because the dispute between the parties involved could not be amicably resolved.

"Apple invited Applidium to contact Rémi Denis-Courmont, directly should it have any further questions relating to the matter."
