Hi !
Will Transmission be available on the Mac App Store ?
I was surprised to see that all my favorite free apps (Transmission of course, but also Adium, NetNewsWire, Spotify ...) were not present ...
Thanks for the answers !

Re: Transmission + Mac App Store
We're looking into what our options are. Nothing to report at this moment.

Hi, today I was wondering too why App Store lacks our fav free apps. Maybe they have their reasons, but still centralized downloads and updates would be useful Maybe we need own App Store (Apple independent), with free aps and more?

Last I checked, the Appstore License agreement is still not compatible with the GPL. We've already seen a mess with VLC getting added then promptly removed again.

sr55, thanks!! Seems Apple doesn't give a f*ck about what we need if they can't make money from that. I pretty sure it's possible (and shall be pretty easy) to develop kinda App Store analog for GPL-apps.
