iOS/Appstore license exception
I'm working on an iOS version of Migraine Log. It'll use the same codebase as Android (Flutter is quite portable), and be GPLv3. It will also most likely be free-as-in-beer on the appstore (though Apple has a $99/year tax for accounts, even for free apps). However, the iOS appstore policies and general lockdown of iOS-devices conflict with the GPLv3 license. As such I'll have to add an exception that allows distribution through such app stores.
While I own the copyright to the source code, each of you translators own your copyright to your contributions. Thus, I would like you all to let me know if you agree to having this exception extended to your translations - essentially: is it OK to distribute your translations with Migraine Log for iOS? Should any of you not wish to do so, I'll find some way to exclude the language from iOS builds.
This is the text that will be added to COPYING.md
