Steve Streza writes "My Dream App, a Mac contest in search of the next killer app, features Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki, and Xbox and zune creator J. Allard as guest judges for its final round. Visitors can vote for their 3 favorite app ideas, and receive free licenses to both Overflow 2 and the Apple Design Award winning PhotoPresenter. Voting is open until Tuesday at 8:00 PM EDT, at which point the three winners will be announced. The winners, who will have emerged from an initial pool of more than 2,700 entrants, will see their app idea realized as a Mac shareware application and earn royalties on sales. "

It's a joke, he was joking. Woz has always been a sarcastic joker.

BTW, he didn't "invent" the Mac.
Shareware vs Freeware by sYn+pHrEAk · 2006-10-23 05:33 · Score: 5, Informative

I think you're confusing shareware with freeware.

Shareware means there is a demo version that you're encouraged to share, but there is also a full version that you have to pay for.

Freeware is just that: free (as in beer).

There's some cool non OSS software that's free though - Onyx and QuickSilver immediately come to mind (although there are many, many more).
For OSS Mac stuff, a good guide is OpenSourceMac.
