What happened to VLC on iOS? (open source video player)

It's not in the AppStore anymore. Is it only visible in specific countries?

From memory distributing the GPL'd code that is part of VLC was mutually exclusive to the App Store DRM.

Just checked, it doesn't appear in France.

Occasionally someone posts a version of VLC "officially" then it eventually gets removed because of GPL requests. The original one doesn't really work any more and there was one released recently that vanished before I could grab it.
