Notarization is an extremely silly process in my opinion given Apple, just like everyone else, can see and search each and every line of our source code to verify that it is more than "okay" - ie,. that it collects no data on you, and therefore sells no data, that it has no ads, has no backdoors, etc etc. That is much better than notarization.

Yes, I agree with you, Kevin. I did the "codesign -dvvv Sigil.app" thing and saw your dev ID. But the big guys can pretty well do as they like, charging a fortune for the badge and taking the maximum of control over products that essentially are no better than many others.
