Yes, Macs. So there is no reason not to provide installation package for download directly from calligra.org and get the 100% of the _donations_. So far Mac PCs (yeah these are x86 PCs) still can be used without touching the walled garden. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html - problem solved. I don't think we're discussion about a mere detail: let's promote walled gardens as distribution methods for our software and one day, new generation of non-Linux/xBSD users, treating PCs like TV sets or STBoxes, would understand no other source of distribution, and accept closed ecosystem without any reflection. On PCs and consoles this already started at full speed with some games. That said I have no problem with Apple's grabbing % for paid apps. But not a % for donations. I found aut that Alex cares about legal language so let's note: even the title of this thread is misleading because we're not talking about selling an application. At most, one sells license to use an app. Which still makes no sense in case of (L)GPL. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
