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.

Why provide free apps for an OS which is not?
You should think of it before buying a proprietary platform.
- Oh you did and you had a plan: "Don't I run this .com site? Just write an article and let Linux people know they can start porting apps to Mac now so I can have stuff for free on my beloved Mac!
Hm my userbase is mostly dumb but some might conclude that I don't love my Gnome desktop anymore after having written mad editorials when developers didn't jump my hoops. People might think I stubbornly went to Apple and Gnome people shall throw their apps after me.
They might not be amused when finding out.. err, tell these weenies it's for the sake of free software! And you can port GTK apps! GTK good! And it will be on Mac! Mac great!"
