Does not matter, since about 25% is GPL, those 25% makes the whole Calligra 
GPL, unless you remove the GPL code from the distribution on Apple store.

Source code is not the only condition in GPL. For instance, GPLv3 has a clause 
that say that the use should be able to run a modified version of the software 
on the same hardware, making the GPLv3 clearly incompatible with idevice. 
However, for the GPLv2 is a gray area.
