Hopefully so, but thus might be insufficient anyway: The "APP STORE PRODUCT 
USAGE RULES" read very much incompatible with the GPL to me. And they are 
distinct from the "LICENSED APPLICATION END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT". The 
latter would be inapplicable to VLC if the GPL were an EULA, but not the 
former.

In particular, the usage rules seem to restrict to (downloading the software 
for) commercial use. But then again, it says "you may download for personnal 
use", not "you may not download for commercial use".
