Jason: Much obliged for the praise! As of late yesterday, we were indeed finally accepted to the program. In the end, this seems to be shaking out alright, but I certainly stand by the belief that the system was broken, and poorly managed.

Peter; It's certainly a concern, but I don't believe it'll ever happen. An App Store for Mac OS X would be ok, provided it's not the exclusive way of getting software (as it is on the iPhone).

As for selling software on Linux, it's a tough proposition. I believe there is a small amount of payware on there, but the userbase is generally not composed of people looking to pay someone else to make software. Paying for a support contract is far more common, but that's not really an interesting business model to us.
