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

    By doing what homebrew currently does when you pass the --no-quarantine flag, which is call xattr.

    Note that I’d probably support removing --no-quarantine if Apple’s notarization service was free.

      Notarisation, free (as in beer) limits your ability to run your code that (Corporate) doesn’t like, making it inherently non free (as in freedom).

        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.
