Anyway, does the license imply that one can't compile GHC's core language and RTS into objective-c, then compile it with their "so great" software ?

It's not clear to me that our game violates this new term, and we certainly don't violate any of the principles Steve Jobs used to justify it.  If Apple wants to reject our app, they already have a variety of excuses at their disposal, as they've demonstrated on many occasions.  Frankly, it'd be their loss; Android is now the fastest-growing smartphone market, and we'll be more than happy to focus on it (and other friendlier markets) if Apple's not interested in having our product on their platform.
