Downloading executables remains a blessed way of downloading stuff for the Mac; I use Audacity.

I wish more free software developers would pay the $99 tithe to get their stuff added to the Mac App Store though. (Any free software guys here? I'll pay the $99 for the first one to email me at [email protected])

Audacity is GPL licensed (only). The App Store imposes restrictions on the use and redistribution of software, which is incompatible with the GPL.

That article seems to be talking about the App Store for iOS (the one you access via iTunes). We're talking about the Mac App Store that provides OSX applications.

Now although the situation might be the same, I'm not definitely sure that it is - for one thing OSX still lets you run unsigned binaries (and thus modification to source code).

Sorry, I got the stories mixed up. In any case, it seems it suffers from the same problem - or at least it did in 2011:
