He wrote to Apple to complain that his work was being distributed through their App Store, under terms that contradict the GPL's conditions and prohibit users from sharing the program.
All they would have to do is follow the license's conditions to help keep the software free. Instead, Apple has decided that they prefer to impose Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) and proprietary legal terms on all programs in the App Store, and they'd rather kick out GPLed software than change their own rules.
Steve is too much of a control freak to even think about giving users the freedom to do whatever they want with the hardware they bought. So let him kick out useful software; as long as it annoys Apple users, it's good.
