VLC media player is a widely used free and open source media player. In late October a port of the VLC media player for iOS devices was available in the App Store. There was a controversy with regards to the GPL (license used for a lot of code in VLC) and the App Store terms. One of the core contributor to the VLC project Rémi Denis-Courmont decided to write to Apple with regards to the GPL violation. It was predicted that Apple pull VLC from the App Store and as expected it happened on January 7th. Obviously this has made many people upset.
As usual the Apple fan boys who still believe that Apple can do no wrong decided to give it a spin that Nokia is responsible for the removal through Rémi Denis-Courmont, who happens to be an employee of Nokia. All the Apple fan boys on the web decided to paint Rémi Denis-Courmont as the devil incarnate himself. Of course the fan boys will never force Apple to change its draconian terms but would rather spend their time polishing Steve Job's knob. With that said, I am happy to see that VLC app has been removed from the App Store, Apple fan boys do not deserve to use this awesome media player.
