Shame on you, Homebrew, for effectively killing FOSS apps from casks.

    Yes, but you can still compile the code yourself. It’s only problematic for binary distribution. This is basically a question of balancing security vs. freedom I suppose.

      Talking about balance when google is using the same tricks to crush f-droid is not reading the room.

        Difference is compiling an app from source for Android is not really feasible on Android devices, whereas doing so on macOS is literally built into the package managers for macOS and is generally pretty trivial beyond it taking more time.

        Also, macOS doesn’t prevent you from running the apps entirely.
