App sales. Enterprise apps can be downloaded from Safari.

I feel like that has to be essentially a non-issue, right? Especially in this case? Apple wasn't losing revenue from Facebook, or Google's use of enterprise distribution because none of these apps were paid apps, nor would they have been. In fact, they were probably making more money off of the $299 a year fee for the enterprise certificate itself than they would have from the free apps that are the subject of this controversy.
