Quite frankly, I was confused about that part of the GPL. My eyes got glazed over after the first few sentences!

Also, I wasn't quite sure if someone could simply take the source and make their own clone release to the App Store.

I was also working on a version of the 41C, which is not yet ready for release.

I wonder if there is another license (or no license) I could use, at least temporarily until I can make a final release which would include the 41C?

You definitely need to read such licenses more closely until you thoroughly understand them. Especially those parts that limit what you can/cannot do, and what you must/must-not do with your product, given that it is based on other open-source predecessors, like nonpareil. You can't simply select a different, perhaps more restrictive model to release your product, this kind of parameter is likely established by nonpareil's license, which more than likely limits you to release your product under the same type of license, with the same freedoms and restrictions therein. I don't know what license type Eric used to release nonpareil (most likely GPL-2 or -3), but I am 100% certain it is easy to find that, and you can readily see what such limitations and freedoms are.
