I agree on the philosophy, but a minor nit-pick regarding the app-store bit... Digitally signing the .dmg is a separate issue from selling on Apple's app store. Recent versions of OS X have "the Gatekeeper", which is a security setting that controls what applications can be run and installed. Signing the DT images, regardless of whether or not it's distributed through the App Store raises the trust level up a notch. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290 In theory, it's a good idea. Looking over at the apple docs for signing, it appears that this can be done without paying for an Apple dev ID: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html In particular, the section that reads: Note: Apple uses the industry-standard form and format of code signing certificates. Therefore, if your company already has a third-party signing identity that you use to sign code on other systems, you can use it with the OS X codesign command. Similarly, if your company is a certificate issuing authority, contact your IT department to find out how to get a signing certificate issued by your company. On the topic of putting the dmg on the mac app store, I'd be for it. I'd also be in support of charging money for it, if the funds generated from sales are directed to general DT development. I can't speak to the legal issues about either putting an open-source app on the app store, or charging money for it.
