Raspberry Pi Team Launches Pi Store 91
sfcrazy writes "Raspberry Pi developer team has introduced the Pi store, a place to get software for Raspberry Pi, in collaboration with IndieCity and Velocix. The team hopes that the store will become a one-stop-shop for Raspbian Pi users. The store already has 23 major applications available for users including LibreOffice and Asterisk. There are classic games like Freeciv and OpenTTD and Raspberry Pi exclusive Iridium Rising. The team also managed to get 'one piece of commercial content: the excellent Storm in a Teacup from Cobra Mobile.'"

I thought this was all about open source and stuff. Aren't these Apple Stores completely contrary to the spirit of OSS?
Then you are talking about freeware rather than open source.

The system is brand new and it seems the app store service provider still has some details to work out about the licensing.
Liz, the head of the Raspbery Pi foundation, is aware of the issue and has already directly addressed it by saying there will be a fix in place by tomorrow to allow the app publishers to properly list the license their software is offered under.
For reference, here is Liz's statement to that effect:
