I have a suspicion why we don't see a binary of Linphone with ZRTP in
the APp Store. Could it be that the library used to implement the
protocol is GPL licensed?

Obvs this does not mean anything for the Play store but I've heard
that other popular apps have been rejected due to inclusion of GPL
libraries regardless of the LGPL runtime exception. But IANAL.
