I haven't read Apple's terms in detail, but most commercial "licences" 
aren't licences, but actually contracts.  Contracts, if validly formed, 
can require you to not exercise rights you might already have.  (A 
common example, and one quite similar, is that magazine publication 
agreements almost always forbid publication in any other magazine.)

Also, I believe one of the issues is that Apple become a commercial 
distributor of the software, so anyone using the Apple store is knowing 
supplying to someone who intends to breach the GPL.

I very much doubt that the Pidgin developers could get the clearances 
needed to dual licence.
