Having apps that do what users want but try to hide it from reviewers really highlights the absurdity of letting Apple decide what software you're allowed to run.
Lmao the first thing that came to mind was the "is there anyone else you forgot to ask" meme with apple in between the user and app developer.
LOL the comments telling the Verge to shut it's mouth.
Also man France loves piracy. I apparently need to learn French better.
The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I'd usually bring the Willy joke out but I'm with them on this one.
The VLC thing is specifically about software patents on AVC, HEVC and other codecs. Most of Europe doesn't recognize software patents, so anyone can implement an AVC or HEVC encoder and decoder if they want to.
