Transmission + Mac App Store

Post by maxaquillion »

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 !

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.
