Not more upset!? I believe one needs to strongly protest. I believe this to be completely inacceptable and a violation of all open source ethics to ask money, and even quite a steep price, i.e. $29.99, for Skim. Has to be stopped as quickly as possible and the company Applest sued or at least make sure Apple kicks them off for good.
There is no link to the company, only one to a dubious support site. This looks to me like criminals are at work. They need to be stopped. Quickly. Regards, Andreas NOTE: I have a new mobile number!

Absolutely no shame. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-reader/id495457866?mt=12 No kidding. Clearly a ripoff, right down to the icon! I think this is allowed under the terms of the BSD license, but I also think they need to acknowledge the original authors, based on the license linked in Skim's about box: http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/license.txt I'm truly surprised it made it through the app store review. I wonder if the DVI support is removed? My understanding is that Mac App Store applications can't fork/exec other processes. -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
