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.

Whatever, Eugenia. Calling me a Linux weenie for your blatant errors and possible spread of misinformation. Oh, and what about BSD/Apache/LGPL/MIT/X11 free apps, are those not needed on the Mac platform? And do you think your Mac-Joe-users know what the GPL is all about?
I thought so. There is a reason why terms like "free software " are defined and should be used appropriately. The concept didn't just fly out of people's asses or from Linux weenies, as you so eloquently put it.
