i spent quite a long time being bounced from department to department with apple, trying to find out if i could use expr in IOS apps, and they never gave me a definitive answer.  Basically they told me i'd have to hire a lawyer to find out :p

My approach with PdParty so far is:

- GPL source code is incompatible with the Apple App Store due to the static linking requirement which means you cannot distribute GPL libs as dynamic libs which can be updated or replaced by the user

- GPL patches are fine, they are text files which are not compiled into your app binary so can be freely replaced, I expose all of the GPL patches I use to the user so they can modify or update them to satisfy the distribution requirement of the GPL

- I leave out [expr] & [expr~] for now. The license in the expr src folder is LGPL, but the license in the source headers is GPL and the following is printed to console when first loading the external: "expr, expr~, fexpr~ version 0.4 under GNU General Public License ". I will leave it out until those parts of the code are explicitly changed. If this has already happened, then we need to merge in those changes to libpd. So far, as Miller suggests, I've been replacing [expr] with regular math objects.

And make sure that all the authors sign off on that license change.
