[GRASS-PSC] Fwd: [GRASSweb-list] GRASS GIS and Apple's Mac Products Guide

[Michael Barton]

This could be nice promotion, as GRASS is THE leading GIS for Mac (since
MapInfo and ESRI pulled out of the Mac and Unix Market just as OS X came on
line). But I too don't know what kind of legal/bureaucratic hoops need to be
jumped through for this.

>> Dear Mac Developer,
>> 
>> It has come to our attention that one or more of your Mac
>> applications may be Universal. A Universal application runs
>> natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers and is
>> compatible with Mac OS X v10.4.4 or later.
>> 
>> We are currently featuring Universal applications in Apple's
>> Macintosh Products Guide (http://guide.apple.com). We would like to
>> include all of your Universal products, however we are unable to
>> confirm that they are in fact Universal.
>> 
>> In order to include your product in the Universal application
>> section of the Mac Products Guide, your website needs to clearly
>> indicate that your products are Universal. Please consider
>> licensing the Mac OS X Universal logo, free of charge, and placing
>> it on your website.
>> 
>> You can download the logo and license agreement here:
>> http://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/maclogo.html
>> 
>> Please let us know when your website has been updated so we can
>> include your product. You can submit or update your product
>> listings at http://guide.apple.com/submit/ .
