Of course, given that they have no way of determining that short of asking for the source code (and hiring another thousand reviewers to read it) or applying static analysis tools with heuristics to the programs. I really doubt they do the latter, and the former is unrealistic.<div>

You might want to reread that license agreement. Specifically:<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
"Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or<br>
JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code<br>
written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link<br>
against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to<br>
Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility<br>
layer or tool are prohibited)"<br>
