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.

>Oh, you want to use FOSS and never give anything back?
Of course! Why would I want to give anything back when something is already freely available? I am not a loser you know.
Oh, you mean for "the community's sake"? Well, I am no part of any OSS community, I am a Mac user. And I am not even part of the Mac community either. I just happen to use this computer because it works better than any X-based OS or XP. And the more free-of-charge software, the merrier.
If you don't want me to use these apps, don't release them for free. It's as simple as that.
