    > Replacing Pandoc (GPL and so incompatible the the App Store TOS)

    ... wait, you can&#x27;t publish an app using GPL components to the app store? What&#x27;s the point of this? .. oh, that made quite some noise around 2010 <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;391423&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;391423&#x2F; but I had forgotten all about it... Impressed this still stands...

      It might not for GPLv3: it tries to sidestep it by explicitly voiding any clauses placing additional restrictions, but Pandoc is using GPLv2
