You have good points and I guess you are not missing anything but Check the VLC case with the App store term of services, they pulled the app from the Store. It is really hard to deal with Apple. your app could be rejected and not accepted because it uses the GPL on it. Apple folks are scared of GPL.

Apple saying "you can't have GPL on the app store" is different from "you can't have GPL on app store because there are app store license things that conflict with GPL license things". Apple can restrict their store however they want, but I was wondering if the GPL itself is incompatible with the app store license (which is what the comment I replied to sounded like it was saying).
