Apple won't likely block the app until the FSF or its author (as
happened with VLC) demands that they comply with the licenses. If/when
that happens is another story.

Concerning VCL: "...Rémi Denis-Courmont waged a one-man campaign against Applidium's iOS port of VLC, claiming the app violated the GNU public license (GPL) because App Store purchases have Digital Rights Management (DRM) applied to them." [1] I do not know if this applies to AppStore for normal Applications (not iOS) as well - the point her was iOS' DRM system for purchases.
