Well, obviously "we" (meaning both those who work on the code and
whoever else who might want to distribute some app based on
LibreOffice code through the iTunes App Store) need to make sure that
the well-known rules are followed before even attempting to submit
anything for review.

Or do you see any general reason why Apple would reject an app that
uses LibreOffice code even if it doesn't break any rules?

After all, from the very start of the iOS porting effort it has been
known that (App Store -distributed) apps can't use dynamic loading of
own shared objects, that no dynamic code generation is allowed, that
no interpretation of user-selected script or other code is allowed,
etc. So UNO components need to be statically linked, there will be no
Java, Python or Basic, and no extension mechanism. Technical
challenges that need to be solved. Few of them are, yet. The iOS
porting effort is not exactly receiving much effort at the moment,
which is sad.

At least personally I have no interest in the jailbreaking or
"rooting" communities.

Yes, sure. That should be well known, I hope. Nobody has claimed all
this is an easy task.
