Mac-only open-source app. Why? No one can figure out how to port it to Windows/Linux/*BSD? HandBrake started out as a BeOS app, now it's on OS X and Windows.

Exactly, what were they thinking!

Osirix is quit a big project, we are just with two and our main task is facilitating a research group, so I can not direct the time to do it. But it really pains me, because we like to do things on a budget an more then €10.000 for equipment I can only use for one thing means something has to stay on the shelve.

Maybe when one of these projects:
Cocotron, http://www.cocotron.org
or
GNUstep, http://gnustep.org

are complete enough it will be simpler to do. Time will tell....
