I'm not a dt developer (just a little contributor and tester) so my opinions are really personal: I think we are not "on the market", darktable is not a commercial product that need to get audience against commercial products. Of course would be amazing if a lot of people will use dt and the project will evolves, but remaining a free software. Is not a problem (i think) about 99$, is a problem about development freedom. If I need to pay to develope "for you", and you can accept or reject my work in your app-store (rumors, not personal experience) is not a way i like. I think a free software project should embrace the free software philosophy, and apple policy imo are not compliant :) > But there may be a very good chance that some of us are already an > official developer, then it will cost us *nothing* if he/she agrees to > sign the package for us :) I'm not an apple user, I don't know why this is necessary (current osX port works? is installable on mac?) But, more important, is important to verify if the terms of official apple development contract are compatible with GPL license. just my2c Ivan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
