Our all-new "OpenOSX GrassPro" product doesn't just include the latest version of the GRASS GIS software, it delivers the software as a standalone application that requires only a simple drag-and-drop to install.
Not only is this the best version of "OpenOSX Grass" ever developed (requiring zero installation if you have already installed Apple's X11), we've added a host of ready-to-use GIS software and utilities to extend the functionality of GRASS, including MapServer for: publishing dynamic, navigable maps with layers over the Internet; Generic Mapping Tools (GMT): a collection of more
What's New
Version 6.3: Native Mac OS X interface.
Ability to switch between native interface and X11 interface.
3,400 improvements and fixes over the 6.2.1 version, representing 2 years of development.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.3 or later, Apple X11 installed.
Beware of this company! The original Grass package can be found at http://grass.itc.it. These people are selling a bundle of freely available Open Source software illegaly on their website for a tremendous amount of money, so keep your hands off this download!
These guys took payment from me for their open office suite (by credit card) - it never showed up. They don't answer emails.
Just thought you might like to know their business practises.
[Version 6.0.1]

But this is a *FREE* app...

Which is confusing me, anyway, because I thought OpenOSX didn't release free applications.
The original poster is trying to make a comment about the company, not this particular application.

The company is rotten to the bone.
They charge [large] amounts of money for programs that are other peoples work, offer no support or service for the fee other than a CD-ROM that you may or may not ( see previous poster ) receive.
Unfortunately since it's not against the GPL to sell software, even if you own nothing in it, he can't be sued on those grounds, but you might take the case to the Better Business Bureau.

They have also taken money from me and never filled the order - I've sent faxes, emails, tried to phone - no answer.
