Source?
Authored by: Jim Buzbee on Dec 09, '02 10:33:46AM

As a new MacOSX user, I find these little utilities interesting, but as an old Linux, user, I find I really want the source so I can see how things are done.

Is it common in the "Mac World" to release binary utilities like this? Are there trojan or virus problems?

By the way, the URL refering to an earlier article appears to be wrong...

Generally speaking, I've seen the source on some projects like this, but not all. Basically only those that state the product is GPLd on their website; most others seem to keep the source private.

BTW, thanks for the link error catch; I just fixed it...
