Just because everything on the mac isn't open source doesn't mean that its the end of the world.  Developers have to make money for code development or we wouldn't be able to make our living in technology.  I do agree that a plain old xterm is much better than the Terminal.app application but the great thing is that they at least provide one for you, can't say that for windows.  I simply wanted to state my happiness from being a mac owner.  I don't feel I have to justify the lack of open source software on mac OS X nor should I have to take your attitude.  Hostile responses are not welcome.

Please point me to the public repository that has the source code of
Terminal.app, the default terminal for OS X.

Thanks,
