[Owncloud] Where are the sources of iOS app?

[Chris Ballinger]

If you own the full copyright to the source code you are posting on the App
Store you can license your code under GPL, but it won't allow others to
distribute the code (if you so wish).  Some LGPL libraries include a
"static linking exception" to allow others to distribute the code on the
app store without worry.
