This is correct: Apple does not review the source code for apps submitted to the iTunes App Store, nor do they require developers to submit sources. They probably should be treated like a Best Buy, but the "free software movement" doesn't make this distinction: the recent SFLC enforcement action against WalMart is a similar situation.
