The same clause in the GPL that conflicts with App Store Terms of Service is 
also in the LGPL-2.1

the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to

conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' 
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing 
compliance by third parties with this License.
