open source mac

Everybody (mac-crazy enough to read such a post) knows that the Mac is not really open-source. "Semi-permeable" is maybe the appropriate term... Of course, it can run open source (so do other operating systems) but the way the marketing people managed to blend "high-end hardware consumerism" with that "hack&tweak philosophy" of UNIX was a smart move.

In any case, this is a two-paged list of some open-source software download links, categorized and commented.

Quote from the website:

"Free and open-source software is good for you and good for the world."

;-)

Continued quote:

"This is the best OS X software that we know of."

;-?

Might be a useful reference list if you do not like to sift through versiontracker all the time.
