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

I think somebody just ripped off the source code and posted it to the App

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.
