Given the policy, I'm still really unclear about how ScummVM was allowed into the iOS app store. Maybe it was a mistake, but it's been up there for months.

There's no conceptual difference between interpreting SCUMM bytecode and interpreting 65816 machine code.

It’s a business difference, not a conceptual one. No one cares if you want to fire up Secret of Monkey Island on your iPad. One company in particular really does care if you want to play Super Mario World on your iPhone. That’s the difference.
