I have software than runs on jailbroken phones and I'd like to sell it, but I have other apps on iTunes and don't want to risk getting banned. Would this be a problem?
In past history (which is all I can really speak to): definitely not; in fact, some developers who previously had been selling software for jailbroken devices had ended up on stage with Steve at iPhone events. There have even been cases of well-known-to-Apple developers selling either the same product in both markets, and companies providing similar products (with slightly different functionality) in both markets. For some examples (at least one of which I imagine you will recognize), I will refer you to Qik, uStream, Tap-Tap Revenge, TuneWiki, and YouMail.

Sounds like this might be okay then. My new software wasn't built with Xcode, it isn't a conventional iOS app, that's why jailbreaking is really my only option for distributing it on iOS.
