They use at least bash, wget and gcc. Lets tell GNU so they can sue them! :)

I've got another idea (then I stop spamming here):
Would it comply to App Store rules if one would write a native OS X application 
(conforming to HIG 
and BSD licensed) that is a "Blender Downloader" or "Blender Installer" or 
"Blender Manager". This 
would not include blender, but would download and install blender. It would 
also provide a menu with 
options like "put blender into dock" and "associate .blend files with blender" 
etc. Maybe it could 
let you manage multiple blender installation. E.g. blender 2.49, blender 2.5x 
and a list of the 
latest GraphicAll builds.

If I would use OS X I would write such a software just to see whether Apple 
rejects it.
