<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">Hello,</font></font></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2">I planned a long time ago to
port my work on BlenderPocket for my ipod and I gave up for many
reasons:</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">
<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">1) because of time
constrains (Blenderpocket site is not really maintain any more)</font></font></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">
<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">2) because starting to work,
I realized that the iOS world is really closed (really!) and I had to
do lot of tricks like jailbreak, etc... and I imagined that very few
people would do that for a "proof of concept" like
BlenderPocket</font></font></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">
<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">3) the reason mentioned here
with GPL</font></font></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2">Few months ago, I bought an
Archos 70IT, with Android. I will not be able to invest the time to
make Blender work on Android based on BlenderPocket work. I am sure
that it is not so complicated to do it (I could help if someone is
interesting in answering any question) but my previous experience
show that it is not "a couple of day of work"... Android is
mainly Java, there is a C/C++ compiler for Android but I imagine that
there will be some small difficulties, all Blender library
(especially Python) need to be compiled and working... and my OpenGL
wrapper for OpenGL ES would need some rework... but again, if some
people needs more detailed information, feel free to ask or contact
me on my website.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">
<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">For the last information, I
installed on my Archos 70IT linux (debian ARM), "apt-get install
blender" installed a crashing Blender but I managed to compile
it from my tablet and it works quite well ;) Even if I have to admit
that the capacitive touch screen is not so easy to use as the stylus
for the resistive screen. I am sure that the 2.5 UI fully
customizable thanks to Python can make easily a "finder touch
Interface".</font></font></p>
<p lang="en-GB" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2; ">
<font color="#000000"><font face="arial">If some people are
interested by the "ARM Blender Package working", you can
find the package (and the compilation settings) here:</font></font></p>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font:inherit">Hi Willie, Hi everybody!<br><br>For a better understanting of the situation between GPL and Apple ToS for applications, let me recommend you these posts (yeah, I Know, they're long and boring but worth the reading):<br>
<br>Apple's ToS for Apps:<br><a href="http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS</a><br><br>A "Deepful" analysis of GPL vs Apple's ToS:<br>
<a href="http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2010-November/077486.html" target="_blank">http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2010-November/077486.html</a><br><br>To make things short, Under ToS, Free App is only for personal noncommercial use and you can only share it on five iTunes authorized computers.<br>
<br>Under GPLv2, once you have been granted license rights, you may not impose further restrictions on the recipient's license rights.<br><br>Since Apple ToS is restricting you to use a GPL software just to personal noncomercial use, there's a conflict. Since you can only share it to your
five iTunes authorized devices, there's a conflict.<br><br>One of the most noticed cases was the VLC Media Player:<br><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/no-gpl-apps-for-apples-app-store/8046" target="_blank">http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/no-gpl-apps-for-apples-app-store/8046</a><br>
<br>Workarounds:<br><br>1. Since the blend files are outputs from the program, they're not covered under GPL Terms. You might write a "GPL free" app ( what an insanity!!!) to manipulate the Blend file and license it according Apple's ToS.<br>
<br>2. Like Tony said, Change your tablet for something else that truly support GPL apps. Android is the first option, not to mention HP WebOS or some old fashioned Windows/Linux Tablet.<br><br>Hope this might help!<br><br>
