The Mac platform was always considered a premium platform, hence much of its software is shareware or commercial. In the recent days more freeware applications have emerged, but the majority are small utilities and not full scale applications. Enter the world of GNU which can not only provide "free" applications as in beer, but most importantly, "Free", as in Freedom.

The reason why this is called a "freeware" is because Mac users DO NOT CARE about "open source and gnu". They care about "software", and if something is free (as in free of charge), even better. And if it happens to be open source, well, even more better.
This article was written from the point of view of a Mac user who doesn't wanna pay for apps, not a Linux user who cares about open source.
We know the difference between 'Free' and 'free' just fine, thank you.
Have a great day.
